<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Is Patent Center slow this morning? I\u2019m also not seeing all my submissions in the file wrapper. Anyone else?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I uploaded a response and terminal disclaimers, and was able to download a zip file for review, then completed the submission and obtained an accurate acknowledgement receipt.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I also separately paid two fees for a total of three submissions/payments and received receipts for each.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But when I go to the file wrapper/Documents tab, the response and terminal disclaimers and their EAR have not appeared, just the fee receipts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My experience is that the documents showing up almost immediately, but is a delay common? So far it\u2019s been 20 minutes. I would be less concerned if it wasn\u2019t for the receipts for the fee payments showing up
already.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
