<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I checked several of our (and a couple of those belonging to others) patents granting today, and there is no link or tab in Patent Center to download the e-grant. The normal PDF of the patent is available
in PPUBS for those cases that I spot checked.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A few weeks back we had a patent that was supposed to grant and did not. It was not withdrawn from issue by us or by the PTO, there was no e-grant link, and it was not available in PPUBS. After several
calls and emails, it turned out to be a glitch at the PTO that was never explained to me. They entered a withdrawal from issue and now we are now waiting for a new issue notification and grant date (and updated PTA).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
