<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>
