Attorney bar membership is an Address book interface. Unfortunately, it appears to require a manual DIY entry of any contact that you might want to add. I could not locate a mechanism for importing contact data. Furthermore, it seems to me to fail to populate
all the attorney information in the MyUSPTO account into the Assignment Center interface even when one inserts their own name in the contact list.

<p>I imagine some may have read my blog article from yesterday entitled <i><a href="https://blog.oppedahl.com/uspto-fails-to-let-me-know-that-it-fixed-a-defect-that-i-reported-in-assignment-center/" target="_blank">USPTO fails to let me know that it fixed a
defect that I reported in Assignment Center</a></i>.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I am not exactly sure whether yesterday's blog post had anything to do with it, but just now a phone call came in from a person who answers to Joyce R. Johnson, who is the manager of the Assignment Branch. He has offered to spend some time with me reviewing
the various defects in Assignment Center.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>This strikes me as a perfect time to try to collect in one place all of our Assignment Center bugs.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I guess maybe post them to this listserv, and I will try as best I can to collect them for the discussion with this fellow.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Oh and I guess the other thing is, it would be good to get at least one more person from the patent community involved in the discussion, for a lot of reasons. Volunteers welcome.<u></u><u></u></p>
