[Patentpractice] How to enter contacts into USPTO Address Book for use in Assignment Center (which doesn't work)

[Bruce Young]

If you click on the little circled ‘i’ next to “Stored contact information” when you first get to the Correspondence information page for a new assignment in Assignment Center, it brings up the instructions (see below).

BUT…
I followed those instructions and entered my contact info and then went back to Assignment Center. I was able to add myself as the correspondent for a new assignment from the address book. I then went back to the Account page and entered additional contacts. When I went back to Assignment Center, no contacts at all were visible. I tried logging out and back in. I tried a different browser to make sure it wasn’t a cookie problem. I can’t see any of the 6 contacts that I entered.

I know that I should call the EBC and report it, but I just don’t have the time/energy to do that right now.

Here are the instructions that come up from the circled ‘i’:
What is a Stored Contact?
It is a feature that allows you to save contact information and pre populate that data in sections of a Patent or Trademark submission; these contacts must be added in the MyUSPTO account that was created to access the Assignment Center System.
How to add it?

  1.  Log into MyUSPTO: https://my.uspto.govexternal link<https://my.uspto.gov/>
  2.  Click on Name Dropdown andClick Account
