<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I was working in Patent Center yesterday and several times received a message along the lines of not having permission to do what I was asking to do, kind of like a Billy Goats Gruff \u201cnone shall pass!\u201d message.
Mind you I was simply trying to look up one of our applications. I just kept refreshing and it eventually went away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">I am trying to make use of Patent Center just now (4:10 AM ET). No joy.
<br>
It is impossible to do anything at Patent Center just now. It appears <br>
as a blank screen.<br>
<br>
If I do a "view source" on the blank screen, I learn that the USPTO <br>
system did actually serve up fifteen thousand characters of HTML, that <br>
get rendered only as whitespace.<br>
<br>
Predictably, there is no mention of this outage at <br>
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.uspto.gov_system-2Dstatus&d=DwMGaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=laE26KlATwcl6WmS-u-lWOwRzUwWk0awqjzSi3uodMc&m=Ilohw5ORhHuIo9C0bcnymxWI42SiApgSpuoSVs72MnNn6CO4gQ0ivq-pJOgnPtcC&s=iGeARk-pSUrhYov285S37ovVdijUFq6VCJ8KO13fRy0&e=">https://www.uspto.gov/system-status</a>
.<br>
<br>
I tried entering Patent Center "sideways", you know, by going and <br>
logging in at MyUSPTO and then clicking around to try to get into Patent <br>
Center. Nope. Same blank screen.<br>
<br>
In my logged-in status, I am able to see normal-looking screens in <br>
Financial Manager and Ass Center and MyUSPTO. But again and again, <br>
nothing from Patent Center other than a blank screen.<br>
<br>
Oops. Now after a dozen tries, Patent Center is rendering with visible <br>
material on the screen. But it's the "jumpy" Patent Center, the one <br>
that waits until I have uploaded a document or two, maybe selected a fee <br>
to pay, and then at a time when I do not have my fingers on the keyboard <br>
or hand on a mouse, Patent Center jumps to its main action screen and my <br>
e-filing session has disappeared. The function that is meant to be a <br>
successor to EFS-Web is flaky right now.<br>
