Patent Center to Fully Replace USPTO Legacy System for Filing and Managing Patent Applications Online

Excerpt:  “Beginning November 8, 2023, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) Patent Center system will fully replace the EFS-Web system and the Private Patent Application Information Retrieval (Private PAIR) tool for the electronic filing and management of patent applications. ‘At the USPTO, we are dedicated to providing the most reliable tools to offer a seamless approach for our users,’ said Kathi Vidal, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO. ‘Patent Center serves as another reminder of our commitment to innovation and upholding high quality standards in all of our systems.'”
