Time Needed to Get a Registration
The quickest the process will ever move is 7 months, and this is only if you request special expedited service. There is no additional fee for special expedited service, but you have to submit a letter to the IPA explaining why you need this and why they should bump you up to the head of the line.
Otherwise, it normally takes 12-18 months for a mark to go through the process unopposed.
