[Patentcenter] Fwd: Update: November 15 new transition date for Patent Center replacing legacy systems EFS-Web and Private PAIR

Tue Nov 7 20:23:01 UTC 2023

One week delay so they can fix sponsorship problems and ramp up EBC coverage. I suspect the latter is the real driver.

As Carl said, no Federal register notice required.

Update: November 15 new transition date for Patent Center replacing legacy systems EFS-Web and Private PAIR

As we announced in September, as part of our modernization efforts to provide more extensible technology and functionality, the EFS-Web and Private Patent Application Information Retrieval (Private PAIR) tools are being retired after their decades of use as electronic filing and application management systems for our Patents customers.

Starting November 15, 2023, the Patent Center system will fully replace EFS-Web and Private PAIR. Please read our latest blog<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnVzcHRvLmdvdi9ibG9nL2RpcmVjdG9yL2VudHJ5L2ltcHJvdmluZy1vdXItc2VydmljZS10by1hbWVyaWNhP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1zdWJzY3JpcHRpb25jZW50ZXImdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX25hbWU9JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Z292ZGVsaXZlcnkmdXRtX3Rlcm09IiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDIzMTEwNy44NTMwMTQ4MSJ9.ZDwzBjq4tGwjeWTbWeQr_r1GKAHvlTlhRZWyQ1YzdZk/s/980645540/br/230234379974-l> from Commissioner for Patents Vaishali Udupa for more information.

We are postponing the original transition date (previously November 8) to better respond to and incorporate additional valuable stakeholder feedback into the Patent Center system. Specifically, we are working to increase usability for sponsored accounts with large amounts of customer numbers and address any related issues. We are also ramping up coverage to our Electronic Business Center to respond to questions in real time and help ensure a smooth transition for our stakeholders.

Making this transition to Patent Center is essential to ensuring that our tools evolve, that we stay up to date on the latest digital capabilities, and that we continue to deliver excellent customer service to meet your needs.
