<p class="MsoNormal">This might be a coincidence, but I was experiencing the same browser refresh issue that many were discussing here earlier today, and I did something that seemingly fixed the issue for me.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Normally, I leave a browser tab open to patent center and I re-log in or refresh as needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This morning, I refreshed and got to the login screen, entered my credentials and the auth code from my authenticator app and patent center loaded, and then reloaded, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During all of this reloading, I tried clicking random buttons to no avail, until I stumbled across something that actually worked.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I clicked on MyUSPTO in the top banner and was directed to the MyUSPTO page.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was initially asked to log in, but a screen refresh carried over my credentials and I was logged in automatically.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I then clicked on the patent center link from myuspto and it opened patent center in a new tab in my browser and that has been working with no refresh issues (so far).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wondering if the same process would work for any others having issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good luck!<o:p></o:p></p>
