[Patentcenter] Electronic Issue Fee payment in Patent Center

[Michael Nye]

First, paralegals can no longer prepare an eIF for me to sign (which I can
do very conveniently over Zoom). This is an issue that I believe the USPTO
has said they will never address.

So I usually do my own eIFs. I have now received the following error
multiple times when specifying a fee address as part of the eIF process:

You'll note that the dialog says "Correspondence Address", not "Fee
Address". That's a bug. More problematic, the customer number listed as the
"Correspondence address" is our main customer number. So I am 100%
confident that it's associated with my user profile. And that the customer
number contains contact information.

After a period of time, the window refreshes and the contact information
for our customer number replaces the triangle-exclamation "OK". But the
"not associated with your user profile" warning remains.

It's a disturbing set of errors that I admit don't affect the actual eIF
transmittal, but do give me some consternation each time.
