EFS-Web and Private PAIR problems
EFS-Web and Private PAIR Users: Please Do Not Install Java 7
On May 2, Oracle Corporation announced that Java 7 update 4 (7u4) is now the new default Java version. If you have the Java Update feature enabled on your computer, you may be prompted to update to the latest version. At this time, EFS-Web and Private PAIR do not support Java 7.
USPTO recommends that you do not upgrade to Java 7 until further notice. We are aware of the problem and will continue to work on the issue until it is resolved.
If you encounter any problems, please call the Patent Electronic Business Center at 866-217-9197 (toll free) or send an email to EBC@uspto.govebc@uspto.gov.
