Pitfalls to Avoid:

  • Public disclosure before filing
  • Low-quality or unclear visual representations
  • Forgetting to request certification when enforcement is needed

Timeline Reality

RCDs are often fast once formalities are clean; deferment buys secrecy at the cost of time. Publication can follow within days of registration if not deferred.
