[Patentcenter] Payment of Maintenance Fees

[Randall B. Bateman]

Does anyone know how you can verify the payment of maintenance fees in Patent Center if you are not the Attorney of Record?  I was doing some due diligence in a case and could not determine whether the maintenance fees had been paid.  I called EBC to find out.  When they asked for a patent number I gave them one that I actually have receipts of payment of the 4 and 8 year fees.  I was told that no maintenance fees had been paid on the case.   This is a bit frightening.

Can anyone help?
