[Patentcenter] Patentcenter DNS broken - just came back up 11:28am eastern

[Bruce Young]

Can’t get to Patent Center or even to uspto.gov. Tried three different browsers on my PC and one on phone.

Oops, uspto.gov just popped up again. But still no joy on Patent Center.

It didn't work for me a minute or two ago (Firefox browser), but now appears to be working again (same browser).

There is something badly wrong with the USPTO's hosting of DNS:

There are ways to do DNS in a very reliable fashion.  And they do not cost a lot of money.  But the USPTO probably contracted this out to somebody incompetent.
