Authentication change coming for EFS-Web and PAIR 

EFS-Web and Private PAIR users will need to use a new, safer, and simpler login beginning this October. The new method will save time by granting access to multiple USPTO systems with one consolidated sign-in and will eliminate shared credentials by providing practitioner and support staff with their own USPTO.gov accounts.

Getting a USPTO.gov account is quick and easy. If you don’t already have a USPTO.gov account, follow these steps:

1. Visit the Create an account page.
2. Enter the email address you will use to sign in, as well as other necessary account information, and follow the prompts.
3. Opt-in to two-step authentication.
4. Once the tools are available, set up migration and sponsorship.

If you use Financial Manager, you already have a USPTO.gov account:

1. Just opt-in to two-step authentication.
2. Once the tools are available, set up migration and sponsorship.

For additional information, please visit Authentication Change for EFS-Web and PAIR.

If you need assistance creating your USPTO.gov account, please call the USPTO Contact Center (UCC) at 800-786-9199. For assistance with migration and sponsorship when the tools are available, please contact the Patent Electronic Business Center at ebc@uspto.gov or 866-217-9197.
