MN Momprenuer Receives Notice of Allowance from USPTO

Minneapolis, MN, January 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Debra Lindh, the face behind Messy Face™, announces the receipt of a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering the Messy Face™ innovative bib.

“This represents a major milestone in the strategic development of the Messy Face™ intellectual property portfolio,” comments Debra Lindh, CEO of Messy Face Designs, Inc. “This official notice from the Patent Office represents a considerable achievement for the company and its goals. The issuance of this notice represents recognition of the patentability of the Messy Face™ innovative bib and protects this important asset.”

A Notice of Allowance generally completes the substantive examination of a patent application.

Debra Lindh currently believes that the patent could be issued before the end of 2009.
