How can I electronically file an ex parte reexamination request?
As of July 9, 2007, the USPTO began accepting ex parte reexamination requests and subsequent correspondence through its Web-based electronic filing system (EFS-Web). The MPEP states:
“The Office has updated the Legal Framework for Patent Electronic System to set forth that requests for reexamination, and proper reexamination ‘follow-on’ papers (see MPEP § 2267) are permitted to be submitted using EFS-Web.”
For the most up-to-date information on electronic filing, you can refer to the Legal Framework for Patent Electronic System at: www.uspto.gov/patents-application-process/filing-online/legal-framework-efs-web
