[Patentpractice] Welcome Letter actually useful?

[Jeffrey Semprebon]

While forwarding a filing receipt and welcome letter to a client, I noted
that while the filing receipt is razor sharp, the welcome letter (the
version from IFW, signed by both Dir. Vidal and Dep. Brent rather than the
downloadable one from the top of the Documents tab in color and signed only
by Acting Dir. Brent) has the horrible pixelated half-tone typical of image
files (drawings, Declarations, etc.) uploaded and processed.

It occurs to me that the Welcome Letter may have an unintentional value as
an example to warn Applicants of the sort of image degradation that image
files are likely to suffer when processed to get them into IFW; apparently
even the USPTO's own documents are not always spared in whatever processing.
