Patent Center Public Application Access Unavailable
The Patent Center public application access has been temporarily disabled to address excessive traffic volume impacting USPTO systems. Guests or unauthenticated users will be unable to access publicly available applications.
Logged in registered users will not be affected and will still be able to access applications. Filing applications for guest/unauthenticated users and logged in registered users is not affected by this activity.
The USPTO Technical Teams are implementing a solution to mitigate the underlying concern and will update users when it is resolved. We expect functionality to be restored by 5pm.
EMERGENCY: Patent Center Submissions
Users are reporting that they are not able to view submissions. Patent Center operations are currently being impacted by other internal USPTO systems. The USPTO Technical Teams are investigating the issues and will update users when it is resolved.
