[Patentcenter] Different Patent Assignment Search Results Depending on Device and/or Browser

[Landry, Brian R.]

Not a PatentCenter issue per se, but sending this as an FYI and curious if anyone has seen this as well.

In wrapping up a transaction, there was a question of whether a patent assignment was recorded. In troubleshooting this, we determined that depending on which device one searched for the patent in the USPTO Patent Assignment Search database, different results appeared. Namely:

When I searched for the patent on either:
 - Edge in Windows or
 - Chrome in MacOS,
I see 2 assignments.

However, when:
 - I search in Safari in my iPhone (trying to troubleshoot while on the road) or
 - opposing counsel searches in Chrome in MacOS (not sure of versions),
only one of the first assignment is shown without any suggestion that a second assignment exists as seen in the snip below.

Here’s what I see in print preview from my iPhone.

Happy Thanksgiving!
