[Patentpractice] Ceremonial copies of issued patents

[Rebecca Westers]

I was attending as well, and they are referring to the ceremonial paper copies that they have been sending in addition to the e-grants.  I was one of the people who asked when they are going to stop doing this and they gave the answer Judi shared below (thanks, Judi).

I wonder what the “nominal fee” will be for ordering a ceremonial copy and when they will announce it.  I also hope they have some way for the applicant to order it directly without having to pay an attorney to order it and forward it.  Lotsa luck.

Hi all - I’m in the middle of a PTO/AIPLA training class for assistants and paralegals, and in the chat, the PTO indicated that “Currently, paper ceremonial copies of eGrants are being mailed.  This will occur until June 25, 2024.” (emphasis added)

Good to know.

Be well,
Judi
