[Patentcenter] QPIDS filing in Patent Center?

[Jason Geider]

Hi Victoria,

Yes, surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly!), searching for QPIDS turns up the EFS instructions still posted on the USPTO site. Just wow!

But, here is where the patent center guide can be found for this - https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/PATENTCENTER_QPIDS_QSG.pdf.

My understanding is they are to make this and the other ePetition options available to non-practitioners in early 2024. We'll see.

Cheers,

Good morning list mates - I am a sponsored user for Patent Center, and I have not had to file a QPIDS filing since they shut down EFS-Web and I don't see the option for me to do it in PC anywhere.  I assume it's because it's an online petition type filing that only practitioners have access to, so the practitioner would have to load and submit the filing, correct?  Is there anyone out there that has had to do this type of filing that may be able to provide a little guidance now that everything is in PC?  The quick start guide and info for a QPIDS filing is severely outdated.  Everything still refers to EFS-Web that no longer exists and is no help at all.  Why are the guides/info not being updated?!?

Thanks in advance,
Victoria
