USPTO Systems Status and Availability

Monday May 16, 2022

Planned Events

PALM Patent Cooperation Treaty Operations (PCT-OPS) Maintenance

The USPTO will perform maintenance on PCT-OPS beginning at 12:01 a.m., Thursday, May 19 and ending at 5:30 a.m., Thursday, May 19 ET.

During this maintenance period, new PCT applications submitted via EFS-Web and Patent Center will experience a delay in application processing.

This delay will prevent the filing of follow-on submissions for yet to be processed PCT applications. Once PCT-OPS services are fully restored, application processing will resume.

Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and Trademark Electronic Application System International (TEASi) Maintenance 

The USPTO will perform maintenance on the TEAS and TEASi systems beginning at 8 a.m., Saturday, May 21 and ending at 4 p.m., Saturday, May 21 ET. 

During the maintenance period, TEAS and TEASi will be unavailable. 

Users should file all saved forms and e-signature forms by 7:59 a.m., Saturday, May 21 ET.  If you don't file these forms by that time, you will have to start the process again with new forms.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
