[Patentpractice] Please respond to this survey about your use of USPTO’s DOCX e-filing paths

[Carl Oppedahl]

Some firms and corporations are trying to figure out what to do about 
the USPTO’s DOCX initiative (the $400 non-DOCX penalty) that came into 
effect on January 17, 2024.  Other firms and corporations have already 
decided what to do about the DOCX initiative.  This survey hopes to 
collect responses from firms and corporations about their present 
approaches to the DOCX initiative.  How many firms and corporations have 
decided not to file in DOCX format (meaning that they have decided to 
pay the non-DOCX penalty)?  How many firms and corporations have decided 
to file in the DOCX-plus-auxiliary-PDF path?  How many firms and 
corporations have decided to file in the DOCX-alone path?

Please respond tothis survey

It is likely to be very helpful to the patent community to have lots of 
responses from lots of firms and corporations.  I hope that lots of 
members of the patent community will respond, and I thank you in advance 
for your participation.
