<div dir="ltr"><div>Yesterday because I was so irritated at the number of issues I had, I tracked my time paying an issue fee. Something that should have been 10 minutes to sign & review the form & submit, it took me over an hour, including multiple reloads, changing entity size on PC-PAIR, fixing the assignee issue, and everything through the process of submission. I charge a flat fee for issue fee payments & associated work, so my clients won't see this on their invoice. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Judith<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 16, 2023 at 11:00\u202fAM pbrisky--- via Patentcenter <<a href="mailto:patentcenter@oppedahl-lists.com">patentcenter@oppedahl-lists.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-8089710305649407873">
