<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Aptos Serif", serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">I've been filing Docx applications for quite a while now. My process is to upload the docx file I created,
download the USPTO scrubbed version, compare the two with the built-in compare function of Word, and if there are no differences, then I file the application. At this point, the comparison rarely reveals any differences in the text (mostly because I preemptively
remove all bookmarks, convert auto-numbering and cross-references to text, etc., before uploading the Word file).</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Aptos Serif", serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Aptos Serif", serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">I keep copies of both what I uploaded and the USPTO scrubbed version in the file. The USPTO scrubbed version
matches the hash on the filing receipt.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Aptos Serif", serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "Aptos Serif", serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">As for foreign filing, I usually just send the USPTO copy because it has been scrubbed of any metadata.
However, the text in both files is the same so I don't think it matters.</span></p>
