<p class="MsoNormal">On filing an IDS last week and checking the preview of the uploaded documents, I noticed that the fields at the top of the form for identifying the application to which the IDS was being filed had been dropped. I removed the document and
completed a new clean IDS form and uploaded it again with same result. I then tried taking an older form from another case, deleting all of the information there and completing it with my current application information and reloaded it with same result.
EBC’s only comment was that this was a “known bug” and had no idea of when it would be resolved. On questioning ebc whether there was any workaround, they had absolutely no suggestion. When I asked if the IDS would be properly matched with the case in question,
they said it should be, but I would have to await it showing up in Patent Center to know fir certain. On expressing that this was my last day to file the IDS without incurring additional fees for the client, they had no suggestion.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, I gave up, printed out the properly completed IDS, scanned it, and uploaded it (with the typical warning that this is not a USPTO loadable form) and filed the submission (which correctly turned up in Patent Center the next day.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Completely frustrating especially since Patent Center can’t even properly handle the USPTOs own forms.<u></u><u></u></p>
