<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone suggest who at the USPTO might be able to help me with processing an issue fee payment, other than Publications? An issue fee payment that I authorized on 12/27 still has not been deducted, and the only help Publications can
offer is to send a message to someone, but nothing is ever achieved. Issue fee is due in 3 days and I can’t tell if it’s not being processed because of an error on my end with the Part B (I don’t see anything that should cause an issue – so let’s say a real
or imagined issue), or a failure to receive, process, or acknowledge it on their end, and I’m concerned it will go abandoned because they didn’t “see” the authorization. Please, take my money!
