The USPTO has by now presented over 145 webinars, by now every two days or so, containing pants-on-fire lies about “the DOCX standard” and how safe it supposedly is to file US patent applications according to the USPTO’s DOCX initiative. As of the present time, USPTO’s stated plan is to start charging a $400 surcharge on June 30, 2023 for those filers who fail to use the DOCX initiative. As you can see here, many members of the patent filing community feel that the USPTO has not done a good job of communicating pros and cons for an applicant or practitioner when e-filing in DOCX format.
I presented two webinars recently about the professional liability risks of filing in DOCX. You might wonder whether the people who attended the webinar on April 18, 2023 think that you should attend the upcoming webinars? The answer is “yes”. You can see their evaluation questionnaire answers here.
Watch a recording of either or both of the webinars to get the other side of the story — to appreciate the professional liability risks of filing in DOCX.
