<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Randall - No. The screenshot of the error I posted below was the only bit of information it gave me. I assume maybe it was one of the foreign addresses, but the fields in the ADS form itself took the full address so why would uploading
it be an issue? The addresses weren\u2019t all that excessively long. I\u2019ve filed longer addresses in the past, so I have no idea.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will play with it more when I get a few minutes to see if I can work out whatever caused the issue. I\u2019ll touch base if I find anything. I just didn\u2019t have the time to sort out the USPTO\u2019s random non-helpful errors this morning.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning all \u2013 I can\u2019t recall if we came across this issue and had a fix yet, so my apologies if this is a repeat issue. I uploaded a USPTO Application Data Sheet form and got the following error pasted below. What does that mean?
The ADS has its own internal character limit on addresses and such and everything seems to be in order. I don\u2019t know what that error could mean or how to begin to rectify the issue. If anyone has info that would be great. Otherwise, I guess I will load it
under the \u201cNo ADS and Attached ADS \u201c option and pray they don\u2019t mess it up. There are quite a few inventors with foreign addresses for this one. Maybe that is the issue? Regardless, foreign addresses should work in the ADS without issue.
