[Patentcenter] Patent Center Issue Fee Payment Bugs

[Patent Lawyer]

Another “issue fee” bug:

"Comments on Statement of Reasons For Allowance," must be filed before or with payment of the issue fee.

Patent Center does not allow these comments to be filed with the Web-based issue fee payment.

So, they must be filed as a separate submission (before paying the issue fee).

I am trying to pay an issue fee and it keep setting the assignee to “organization” (which is not correct).
I cannot figure out how you fixed that.  What’s the solution.  Each time I set it to “Corporation,” and it looks right on the screen, but then when I preview the file it is set to “Organization.”

If the system fills in the Assignee from the ADS (which usually doesn't work for me, the Assignee type is indicated as "Organization" with a warning to change to the type. If you do, the system does not save that change.  So when you open the Web-85 form, it'll show "Organization." It will not error as a result though, so you can submit it with the incorrect entity identification. I don't know what happens if you do, because I correct this by going back, deleting the auto-filled entity & re-entering their data.
