Status 686 means your mark is published in the USPTO Official Gazette and in the 30-day opposition period. If no opposition is filed, prosecution typically continues toward registration or a Notice of Allowance. Monitor the opposition window. After it closes, watch for Notice of Allowance (intent-to-use) or registration (use-based).
