[Patentcenter] indicating fee amount that one wishes to pay

Mon Feb 5 23:01:51 EST 2024

When I am using a credit card (which is almost always how we pay our 
fees), I sometimes find I have no choice but to use Form 2028 and fax it 
to the Central Fax Number +1 571-273-8300.  there is a wide free-text 
box toward the bottom of the form where I type in the four-digit fee 
codes that I am paying.
