[Patentcenter] Web85b

[Richard Schafer]

I tried to pay an issue fee in an application today only to be told I could not use the web-based 85b form because no power of attorney had been filed. What's the basis for that restriction? Paying an issue fee is not one of those few actions that require a POA, as far as I know. (Yes, I know I should have filed a POA, but somehow that got overlooked in this case.) I'll submit the 85B the old-fashioned way in Patent Center, but I can't see why that should be required
