Production Data Center Migration
The USPTO will perform a migration on EFS-Web and P-TACTS from the Production Data Center in Alexandria to a new Data Center in Manassas from 12:01 a.m. until 11 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
• P-TACTS
Please refer to our Filing Documents during an Outage page for other alternative filing method.
P-TACTS: Parties must either pay fees for petitions outside of this scheduled maintenance time or pay early. Those with deadlines for petition filing or other associated documents to a pending AIA case, must use an alternate filing method. Questions? Contact PTAB 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET at 571-272-9797 weekdays or email Trials@uspto.gov.
