<p class="MsoNormal">I received notices of recordation for two assignments on Tuesday and Wednesday. Out of curiosity, I decide to check the USPTO’s assignment database. I was able to locate them using by a Quick Lookup search for assignee yesterday (Wednesday).
Today (Thursday) the same exact search did not locate the assignments. I was eventually able to locate them through the Advanced Search by patent number even though I could not find them by Quick Lookup search by patent number.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is Patent Assignment Search normally this buggy since Assignment Center became compulsory? Will this bugginess for these assignments go away with time?<o:p></o:p></p>
