Attend USPTO DOCX Filing Training Online
As described in a recent blog from USPTO leadership, filing in DOCX provides many benefits in the patent application process, including:
- elimination of the need to convert structured text into a PDF for filing
- instant feedback analysis to detect common errors that may otherwise delay processing an application
- automatic metadata detection and removal to support the submission of only substantive information in the file
Learn how to file patent-related documents in DOCX format using Patent Center and EFS-Web during any of several free upcoming training sessions. You will hear from experts on the USPTO's eCommerce Modernization (eMod) team, who will provide demonstrations and answer your questions.
