<div class="moz-signature" signature-switch-id="3b1f849e-df1a-47f0-a9c3-2130023b23a0">I would
argue a similar point to Sarah. However, for elimination of doubt
(because Dale's view is arguable, and probably the most 'to the
letter accurate'), I modify our Certificate to say "...
EFS-Web/PatentCenter ..." <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-signature" signature-switch-id="3b1f849e-df1a-47f0-a9c3-2130023b23a0">Part of
the confusion is that USPTO has been a bit imprecise whether they
refer to PatentCenter as an iteration of EFS-Web or a different
system. I take the view that it's an iteration at least as far as
the legal framework for the Certificate of Service goes. I know
the USPTO hasn't updated it, but it seems like the only other
option is to Fax / USPS, and that's clearly not the intent ... so
clearly the practical intent of the USPTO is that PatentCenter is
the next iteration of the USPTO's electronic filing system.</div>

sure if that stream of consciousness helps, but there it is...<br>
