<p class="MsoNormal">Yesterday, I filed a new provisional application using Patent Center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We uploaded the drawings as "Drawings other than Black and white line drawings." (Best practice)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some observations (the day after the filing):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(1) In score (under the tab "Supplemental Content"), the file type is listed as "Design Drawings." I don't care. Just noting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(2) Today, when I select "Preview" or try to download the drawings from SCORE (to check them), I see nothing, and I get no download. There is no preview, and nothing downloads.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(3) Under the "Documents & Transactions" tab, there is an entry "Drawings-other than black and white line drawings" (doc code DRW.NONBW). Those drawings look like crap. I need to ensure that SCORE has the correct (good quality) drawings,
but I cannot see them on Patent Center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Score lists the item size as 73 kb, which is close to the size of my drawings file. The hash (Message Digest (SHA-512)) on the PTO's receipt matches my calculated hash.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, we cannot check our filings (download the uploaded files) even the day after they are filed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried this with Safari and Chrome. Maybe I'll try with Firefox.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Days!<o:p></o:p></p>
