[Patentcenter] System maintenance on Patent Center and numerous other USPTO systems midnight to 9 AM on Saturday 04/252024

[Randall Svihla]

Hi, all

I tried to log in to Patent Center a few minutes after midnight today Saturday 05/25/2024.  The log in appears to work, but I can't open any application.  Then I found this on the USPTO website:

Friday May 24, 2024

Systems Maintenance

The USPTO will perform maintenance affecting several systems from midnight-9 a.m. ET on Saturday, May 25.

The following systems and systems that interface with these systems will be unavailable during the maintenance period:

    *       Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA)

    *       Office of Enrollment and Discipline Roster of Patent Attorneys/Agents (OEDCI)

    *       Patent Center and Sponsorship tool

    *       Patent Trial and Appeal Tracking System (P-TACTS)

    *       Publication Site for Issued and Published Sequences (PSIPS)

    *       Financial Manager and Patent Maintenance Fees Storefront

    *       Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS)

    *       Trademark Electronic Application System International (TEASi)

    *       Trademark Official Gazette (TMOG)

    *       Trademark Trial and Appeal Board VUE (TTABVUE)

The maintenance will also cause interruptions to payment processing for users of the Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA), the Electronic Trademark Assignment Search (ETAS), the Order Entry Management System (OEMS), and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board End to End (PTAB-E2E).

Yeah, let's do this maintenance at the beginning of a three-day weekend so the EBC will not be available until Tuesday morning 05/28/2024 if they break something during the maintenance.  Genius-level planning.

Hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend anyway.

Best regard,
