[Patentcenter] fax receipt from Patent Office?

[Sandra L Etherton]

I had to file a petition to pay a late maintenance fee by fax today since a)
Patent Center didn't have the right fees in "Calculate Fees" and b) couldn't
file an ePetition because I wasn't entered as POA in the file and instead
was submitting a new POA. I faxed to 571-273-8300 as suggested by EBC.

 

I got a fax receipt from my webfax company that the fax went through
successfully, but I haven't received a fax receipt from the Patent Office.
In the old days the PTO faxed-back a receipt almost immediately. It's been
several hours now and no PTO receipt yet. 

 

Does the Patent Office still send fax acknowledgements that a fax was
received? If so, how long does it take?
