[Katherine Koenig]

How much was the contract to develop Patent Center?  Wasn’t it like a billion dollars, or did I dream that?

Best regards,

Katherine

Surely it's worth paying more for all that enhancement of user experience?

From page 23 of the draft notice:

"the USPTO has enhanced its website to increase access to our
resources and enhance customer service for inventors and practitioners, including
modernizing and updating the Patent Basics and Patents Petitions pages, adding a Virtual
Assistant on select pages, and providing an updated and modern general website search
tool. The USPTO has also upgraded its computer systems, including transitioning from
legacy systems to Patent Center for the electronic filing and management of patent
applications in November 2023. Patent Center, a web-based platform that allows users to
file and manage patent applications and requests, provides improved system performance
and a more intuitive user interface for an enhanced user experience."
