Learn how to make a smooth transition to Patent Center

Laptop with DOCX interface shown

In August, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) resumed its series of Patent Center-focused training sessions. The one-hour sessions are interactive and showcase how to file and manage applications in Patent Center. Register today for the upcoming November 2
training. 

Patent Center is the next-generation system that incorporates all application submission types and file management functionality currently available in EFS-Web and Private PAIR, both of which will be retired on November 8. Additionally, Patent Center provides a more intuitive user interface for an enhanced experience by allowing you to:

  • Upload multiple files at once using the drag-and-drop feature
  • Upload the specification, claims, abstract, and drawings in a single DOCX document without the need to manually separate sections
  • Download multiple documents at once within a single PDF file or in a ZIP file
  • Receive separate submission and payment receipts, which clearly confirm the status of submitted documents and successful payments
  • Safely practice filing DOCX and PDF documents and receive real-time feedback in the training mode, a sandbox environment

There is no charge to attend Patent Center trainings, but registration is required. Visit the Patent Center information page for valuable resources, including a user guide.
