Production Data Center Migration
The USPTO will perform a DMZ migration on EFS-Web from the Production Data Center in Alexandria to a new Data Center in Manassas from 12:01 a.m. until 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 29 ET.
The EIDO support team will perform a backup of the data prior to the product component's migration date, and USPTO data will be migrated AS-IS. There will be no application and configuration changes needed.
Note: The following systems will be unavailable during the migration window:
- EFS-Web for Registered eFilers, Unregistered eFilers, and EFS-Web Contingency
- Patent Center
Patent Center will be available as an alternative to electronically file patent applications. Please note that submissions submitted via Patent Center during the maintenance period will experience longer than expected delays in becoming available in the Patent Center Workbench and Private PAIR IFW tab.
Please refer to our Filing Documents during an Outage page for other alternative filing method.
