<div dir="ltr">I've seen several of these big software projects.
They almost always result in delays when they get into beta
testing because there are a lot of things that the software
designers don't know about and therefore can't program for.

</div>
<div>What this really means is that the software contractor
probably won't get its max bonus for meeting the deadline.
(I'm assuming USPTO doesn't have the IT staff to develop
PATENTCENTER internally). I suspect the next deadline is
also tied to a reduced bonus. Who knows, maybe even USPTO
management/project management has some bonus money at stake.
That's generally the reason that project leadership adheres
rigidly to due dates, live dates, and retirement dates even
though they know the replacement system is FUBAR.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So since max bonuses won't be paid, maybe they can spend
some of the money they saved by doing a little maintenance on
PAIR and other systems. </div>

<div>Friday is a federal holiday and the start of a three day
weekend. How much work will get done over that three day
weekend?</div>
