[Patentcenter] "continuity data is not available for this application"

[Sandra L Etherton]

While being logged into PatentCrapper today, I tried to figure out if a
third-party patent had child applications. I located the patent in Patent
Center, but the "Continuity" menu button was greyed out. I clicked on it
anyway and got a pop-up that said "continuity data is not available for this
application."

 

So, not being sure whether that meant that I couldn't get the continuity
data for some reason, or that there were no continuity apps, I looked up
several patents that I had written that I knew had no continuity apps. Same
problem: the continuity button is greyed out and when you click on it get
the same pop up.

 

I couldn't find this problem in Carl's trouble tickets or feature requests. 

 

Is it safe to assume that when the pop-up says continuity data is not
available that it really means there is none? Wouldn't be better to have the
continuity link live and go to the continuity page that says there are no
continuity apps?
