[Patentpractice] Foreign Priority Application Missing Drawings

[Scott Nielson]

All the recent talk of the USPTO's foreign priority failings prompted me to take a look at the most recent application I filed that included a foreign priority claim for which I provided the DAS access code. It is a US nonprovisional that claims direct priority to a UK patent application.

In Patent Center, there is an entry with the doc description of "Priority Documents electronically retrieved by USPTO from a participating IP Office." I was grateful to see this ... except when I opened the file it is missing the drawings.

So, I'm assuming this is now my problem and I need to figure out a way to get the complete application to the USPTO. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'd like to see what is on file in DAS to clarify who is at fault (UKIPO or USPTO), but I cannot see a way to do that. That said, maybe it's just easier to mail a physical copy to the USPTO. The application was filed in June so I am well within the 4/16 deadline.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
