Information for customers affected by postal service interruptions due to Hurricanes Fiona and Ian

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has posted a pair of notices designating the interruptions in service of the United States Postal Service (USPS) in the areas affected by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian as postal service interruptions and emergencies.

• Fiona: beginning on Monday, September 19 in Puerto Rico
• Ian: beginning on Tuesday, September 27 in Florida and South Carolina

The designations provide support for any relevant petition to the Director of the USPTO to consider correspondence as filed on a particular date. To determine whether a post office has been closed or has reopened, or whether postal services have been suspended or have resumed in a particular area due to Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, please contact the post office directly or visit the USPS website.

The designations have no impact on electronic filings at the USPTO. If the provisions set forth in the notices do not apply to your situation, other relief may be available on petition to the Office.

The full text of the notices is available on the USPTO’s Patent Related Notices webpage.
