<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Thanks, Tim. I think what you and Sarah are saying are good arguments, and may very well be winning arguments. As I think about it further, it would seem unfair for the USPTO
to take the position that using the USPTO\u2019s own form would not constitute an effective certificate, especially once we arrive in a Patent Center only world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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
..." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
