    <p>During the past half hour or so, I had to click and play around
      with Patent Center to get it to work.  Over and over again it
      would display something weird like duplicate authorizations,
      something like that.  And I would sort of have to click around and
      eventually Patent Center would return to its home page and would
      allow me to resume my work.</p>
    <p>Invariably this would include losing any hint or suggestion of
      what particular application I was working on at the time that
      Patent Center turned weird.  So on one task I was working on, it
      was four times in ten minutes that I had to go find the
      application number and paste it in again, to get to the "Private
      PAIR" page for that application.<br>

                <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
                    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://www.uspto.gov/system-status"
                      moz-do-not-send="true"
                      class="moz-txt-link-freetext">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>
