They've gotten up to speed. Paper submissions in the 21st
century. If I remember correctly lots of Republicans
screaming about the update. Naturally, they'd like to be back
in the dark ages.[ Reply to This | # ]

I thought AskPatents.com (the StackExchange service) was superseding this. Will
these co-exist - and be used for different purposes?[ Reply to This | # ]

So, what you're saying is - This is a process that used to be done with
paper, but now it's done over the internet with a
computer programmed as a particular machine
???
The USPTO is treading dangerous ground here. If there's no existing
patent on this, I'll be very surprised. [ Reply to This | # ]

"They are threatening software developers with a
flood of patent applications, and now, that they
themselves can't master that flood, they think
that software developers will come along and help
them out for free.
In traditional patent fields, companies often file
oppositions against their competitors' patents.
In the software field there are very few
oppositions, because it's not worthwhile.
Why then should it be worthwhile for volunteers?
Additionally, this kind of process can make sense
only if you can post against the patent during its
whole lifespan, not during a short few months
during the application period.
In summary, peer review by small players, such as
SMEs and individual Internet users, is meaningful
only if the patent applicant pays.
Opponents need to be rewarded for their their
examination effort, and applicants should be
penalized for polluting the field with obscenely
broad monopoly claims.
It may be difficult for the patent offices to
realise this, since their thinking is centered on
large corporate customers
such as IBM, who can easily afford to spend
thousands of specialist manhours every month
wading through a hundred thousand lines
of unreadable legalese text."[ Reply to This | # ]

There are four types of prior art that you may submit: (1) an
existing U.S. patent; (2) an existing U.S. published patent application; (3) a
foreign patent or published foreign patent application; or (4) non-patent
literature. For each type of prior art reference you will need certain
information. For example, for an issued U.S. patent you will need the patent
number. For a pending published U.S. patent application you will need the
publication number, the publication date, and the first and last name of the
first named inventor in the application. For foreign patents and patent
applications you will need the application number, the publication date, the
country code, and the Applicant, Patentee, or First Named Inventor (First
Name, Last Name). Finally, for non-patent literature you will need The
author
(if any), title of the publication, page(s) being submitted, publication
date,
publisher (where available), and place of publication (where
available). For
both foreign patents/patent applications and non-patent
literature you will
need an English language translation that you can attach
to the
submission.
What this means is a device can be on sale for
centuries, but if there isn't
written documentation of exactly how it works, a
patent will issue.

I am trying to find prior art for my patent application on "A method and
system for saving a patent lawyer from drowning".
No prior art.
Therefore I can patent how to save a patent lawyer from drowning.
Nobody better infringe my patent!
One of claim is a method whereby you throw the drowning lawyer an investment
banker or politician to use as a life preserver.

With regard to:"(which for some inexplicable reason never tells you where
to find the system on the USPTO website)"
The explanation is, I believe, most press releases issued by any bureaucracy are
for self promotion of those in charge, not for actually providing useful
information. They want credit for instituting the program. They don't want to
make it easy for you to actually use the program, as that creates work for them.
Anyway, you can file the papers by mail at the standard correspondence address:
37 CFR 1.1
In general. Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(3)(i), (a)(3)(ii), and (d)(1)
of this section, all correspondence intended for the United States Patent and
Trademark Office must be addressed to either "Director of the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia
22313-1450" or to specific areas within the Office as set out in paragraphs
(a)(1), and (a)(3)(iii) of this section. When appropriate, correspondence should
also be marked for the attention of a particular office or individual.
Alternatively you can access the electronic filing system at:
https://efs.uspto.gov/efile/portal/efs-unregistered
Under: Sign-on as an UNREGISTERED eFILER select : Existing application/patent to
open additional formage to let you also select: Third-Party Preissuance
Submission under 37 CFR 1.290 then fill out the info and upload the
documents...
Unless of course you are a registered efiler, in which case you probably know
what to do.[ Reply to This | # ]
