Generic e-Office Action notification
Beginning February 8, 2023 until further notice, a 'Generic e-Office Action' notice will be sent in lieu of the daily e-Office Action notification. The generic e-Office Action notice will not display detailed information of the new correspondence. The purpose is to inform users that new correspondence is available for download. Each day an e-Office Action notice was not delivered, a generic notification will be sent. Once the issue is resolved, the formal e-Office Action process will resume, all delayed e-notifications will be resent, and delivery of the Generic e-Office Action will cease.
e-Office Action notification temporarily suspended due to technical issues
Beginning Friday, February 3, 2023, until further notice, e-Office Action notification is temporarily suspended. Participants can continue to access new correspondence in Private PAIR using View Outgoing Correspondence / View e-Office Action Notifications or Patent Center using Workbench/View Correspondence. We advise users to check this search daily until the problem is resolved. Once resolved, all delayed e-notifications will be resent and daily e-Office Action operations will resume.
