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


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 to this survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScwsYP2nQJUKQP9bQOUCvDoKTX07KQGnUeRRlu0nBQhmE_d7w/viewform?usp=sf_link>.
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.
