Accordingly, all EFS-Web submissions are required to be in PDF format unless otherwise indicated in the Legal Framework for EFS-Web. See subsection B, below, for more information.ĮFS-Web is a PDF-based filing system. A registered user may file most patent applications and follow-on documents in a patent application a non-registered user may file most patent applications but is only permitted to file limited types of follow-on documents in a patent application. See subsection E, below, for more information on PKI digital certificates. A user may become a registered user by obtaining a PKI digital certificate. Therefore, users will be able to immediately check the contents of their applications for completeness and accuracy of their electronic submissions. Most documents submitted via EFS-Web will be viewable by the user via the Private Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system within an hour after the USPTO receives the documents if the user has associated the application with the user’s customer number. The Electronic Acknowledgement Receipt is the electronic equivalent of a postcard receipt. See MPEP § 503. The processing of fees may delay the issuance of the Electronic Acknowledgement Receipt. After submitting the documents via EFS-Web, the system will display a page that states the USPTO has received the user’s submission and that generally provides an application number. Users of EFS-Web will receive an Electronic Acknowledgement Receipt of a successful submission received by the USPTO, usually within a few minutes.
Users may review and check their electronic submissions including their attached PDF files, before submitting the documents to the USPTO. Users need not provide a duplicate copy of any document filed through EFS-Web unless the USPTO specifically requires the filing of a duplicate in a particular situation. Users may also use EFS-Web to submit payments of most patent fees including patent application filing fees.
If the ePetition, eTerminal Disclaimer or request does not meet all of the requirements, it will not be loaded into the electronic application file (i.e., IFW). This petition or request and a decision granting the petition or request will be loaded into the electronic application file (i.e., IFW), if the ePetition or eTerminal Disclaimer is approved. An ePetition or eTerminal Disclaimer document is generated by EFS-Web based on the information entered into EFS-Web. ePetitions and eTerminal Disclaimers are auto-processed and granted immediately upon submission if the petition or request meets all of the requirements.
