[Patentcenter] Issue Fee Transmittal - Certificate of Service

[Timothy Snowden]

I would argue a similar point to Sarah. However, for elimination of 
doubt (because Dale's view is arguable, and probably the most 'to the 
letter accurate'), I modify our Certificate to say "... 
EFS-Web/PatentCenter ..."
Part of the confusion is that USPTO has been a bit imprecise whether 
they refer to PatentCenter as an iteration of EFS-Web or a different 
system. I take the view that it's an iteration at least as far as the 
legal framework for the Certificate of Service goes. I know the USPTO 
hasn't updated it, but it seems like the only other option is to Fax / 
USPS, and that's clearly not the intent ... so clearly the practical 
intent of the USPTO is that PatentCenter is the next iteration of the 
USPTO's electronic filing system.

Not sure if that stream of consciousness helps, but there it is...
