[Patentpractice] question on USPTO issued patent pdf

[John Hammond]

Hello list,

 

    A client's patent issued today.  I have not yet received an e-mail from
the PTO indicating that the eGrant copy is available.  So this evening first
I downloaded a copy from freepatentsonline.com.  Then I went into
PatentCenter to see if the eGrant was available.  It was not.  Or I am not
navigating PatentCenter successfully.

 

   In the Patent Center application file, I did click on the link under the
Patent # column to download the public access copy.  Then I opened its
properties window.   The page size is 35.56 x 45.83 inches, about an E-size
drawing.  I went to print it with no scaling or paper size choice, just
100%, and sure enough, the preview confirmed it.  The free patents online
copy is 8.5 x 11.  Anyone know what the hell is going on with the PTO patent
pdf?

 

   And one more question.  Is the PTO still sending a "ceremonial" paper
copy via US Mail or is that over with?

 

John
