EFS & PAIR News

    By Christopher P. Singer --

EFS-Web This past week, the Electronic Business Center (EBC) posted two notices on its PAIR and EFS-Web systems.  In the notice posted on the opening page of EFS-Web, the Patent Office announced that it is making a minor change to the document description identification of a letter submitted with an information disclosure statement (IDS).  As of April 6, 2009, the EBC will discontinue the current "information disclosure statement letter" document description option, and it requests that Applicants begin using the document description "Transmittal Letter" for letters that accompany any IDS forms (SB/08a or 1449).

The EBC also announced that Private PAIR and Public PAIR will be unavailable on Saturday, April 4, 2009 from 12:01 AM to 5:00 AM Eastern Time due to system maintenance.
