[Patentpractice] Assignment Center omits state/prefecture on recordation cover sheet and on Notice of Recordation

...but actually better workaround than putting state/prefecture on
AddressLine2 is to make it part of city field so as not to mess up
small-to-big geographical order of address (which is what I do for
ADS anyways, since specifying only city -- the only thing that
gets printed on published app as inventor residence -- without
specifying which state/prefecture city is meaningless in most cases).
Based on what assignment draft patent cover sheet (last thing you can
preview before you click submit) was showing I had thought that
AssignmentCenter was modernly international where the ADS is not.
Couldn't have been more wrong. Now I know not to trust AssignmentCenter
UI and I also know that assignment draft patent cover sheet is
unreliable indicator of what will actually appear on cover sheet that
gets recorded with assignment.

I agree this is one possible workaround, but AssignmentCenter UI is
misleading at best.
EPAS used to disable state field for foreign addresses;
AssignmentCenter does not.
Draft patent cover sheet (last thing you can preview before you click
submit) includes foreign prefecture that was entered in state/country
field; cover sheet that actually gets attached to recordation content
omits foreign prefecture that was present on draft cover sheet.

Hi, Gerry
The State/Province field is only for US and Canadian addresses. You
need to list the Japanese prefecture in address line 2. That's what we
do for Korean provinces.

P.S. One possible workaround would be to leave state/prefecture
field blank (if AssignmentCenter doesn't choke on this; maybe can insert
space or other nonprinting character to get around any unhelpful
error-checking of input) and enter on other lines (one also needs to be
somewhat clever to get address lines 1 and 2 to come out in correct
order on recordation cover sheet, as AssignmentCenter -- like EPAS
before it -- tends to prompt user in way that can confusingly result
in these lines getting reversed). ---gerry

Knew I should have waited a few weeks to give PTO the chance to work
out the kinks in AssignmentCenter.
Not sure whether this happens with US domestic addresses or only
with foreign (non-US) addresses, but I have a case where the "patent
assignment draft cover sheet" (a copy of which I fortunately saved for
my records!) correctly showed Japanese prefecture in the "state/country"
field (is screwy that AssignmentCenter now consolidates these two
fields, but let's set aside that pet peeve for the moment), but the
final cover sheet omits the state/prefecture and only shows country in
field of same name ("state/country"), and most importantly, the
state/prefecture is missing on the Notice of Recordation as well.
An obvious screwup on the part of AssignmentCenter that will require
much time and expense as foreign-based assignees are forced to submit
requests for correction to the Assignment Recordation Branch.
To mention a few more pet peeves with the new AssignmentCenter, besides
doing away the useful templates as has been mentioned by others, I also
found ability to download thumbnails (actually full-resolution) before
clicking submit (and thus having an archivably copy not only of what was
uploaded but also of the assignment as rendered into png or whatever by
EPAS) to be extremely useful but if the new AssignmentCenter has
similar ability, I have not yet discovered it.

I, too, routinely used the ePAS ability to upload a XML document with
assignment details. I built a template document so my docketing
software (AppColl) could generate the XML file. I had to manually make
only minor additions to the XML document, and then upload it to ePAS. I
miss that ability in Ass. Center.

I prefer EPAS and my templates all day, every day over the Assignment
Center. It's very annoying that the PTO rolled out this "new &
improved" interface without the ability to create templates and save
contacts. The copying function is ripe for introducing unintended
errors into the process. When I reached out to them about this
functionality they said they "hoped" to have that feature "someday"

Ass. Center *IS* better. Just not for applicants and patentees. For
someone at the PTO who got to check a box in a performance review for
taking Ass. Center online by some deadline, and is now at a higher pay
grade.
Get your priorities straight, Suzannah!

Hi Carl - I?m able to get into Assignment Center and it seems to be
working ok. I went in through the Patent pull-down in PatentCenter to
Record Assignment, using Edge, if that?s helpful. Sorry you?re having
trouble with the site.
Be well,
Judi

Thank you everybody for reporting on this.
I tried it again on Chrome just now and same error message. Tried it
with https and with http.? In Chrome, I cleared all USPTO-related
cookies.? Tried it again with https and with http. Still no joy.
Tried it in Edge.? Nope, no joy.
Tried it in Firefox.?? Nope, no joy.
The various browsers puke on assignmentcenter.uspto.gov with an error
message that sounds like a TLS version fail or an SSL cert
chain-of-trust fail.
Just now I used the Qualys SSLabs tester to test the access to
assignmentcenter.uspto.gov.? I note with great interest that the Qualys
tester carries out its testing in two paths -- Assignment Center
resolves not only to an IPv4 address (151.207.245.82) but also to an
IPv6 address (2610:20:5011:1604:0:0:0:82).? It crosses my mind that the
non-identical results among users might be because some are using IPv6
and others are using IPv4 to reach Assignment Center.
The Qualys tests finished just now.? For both paths (the IPv4 and the
IPv6) Qualys gives a grade of "B" for the quality of USPTO's TLS and
SSL for this domain.? For both paths, the USPTO's HTTPS stack fails to
provide forward secrecy.? For both paths, the USPTO's HTTPS stack
offers to negotiate to some very old and weak TLS cipher suites.? And
HTTP simply fails, for the IPv6 stack. (The IPv6 stack is not set up
with HSTS.)
(For those keeping score at home, blog.oppedahl.com gets a grade of "A"
for the TLS and SSL quality.)
Aha!? The defect in USPTO's systems is now clearer.? I turned off IPv6
on the network interface of my notebook computer, and now I have no
difficulty making use of Assignment Center.
The USPTO people don't know how to configure IPv6 correctly for
Assignment Center.
Time for a blog article I guess.
For those who had difficulty getting Assignment Center to work, the
question I have for you is, do you have your computer set up to do IPv6
as well as IPv4?
