On June 13, 2015, the USPTO announced the availability of enhancements to its
Private Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR)
system. These enhancements allow practitioners to
self-administer in real time various tasks that previously required
the submission of particular forms. For example,
practitioners can make real time changes to entity status,
correspondence addresses, and/or maintenance fee addresses, as well
as create new customer numbers. Records of the processing of
these requests will be added to the Image File Wrapper of the
application. These Private PAIR enhancements should be useful
for expediting processes for patent practitioners because
practitioners will no longer need to complete particular forms to
effect these simple administrative changes.
