Once these documents have been submitted, you will be notified within four to six weeks whether your product has been approved, is ineligible for licensing or requires further documentation.
If the product is approved, you will receive the licensing contract and master affidavit.
When the contract is finalized, you will receive access to and training on how to use the mark.
