What are the benefits of using EPAS for assignment submissions?
The Electronic Patent Assignment System (EPAS) offers several advantages for submitting assignment documents:
- 24/7 availability for submissions
- Immediate confirmation of receipt
- Faster processing times compared to paper submissions
- Reduced risk of errors through guided data entry
- Ability to save and resume incomplete submissions
The MPEP 302.10 states, ‘Assignment documents can be electronically submitted via the Electronic Patent Assignment System (EPAS) by registered ePAS users.’ This system streamlines the assignment process and improves efficiency for both applicants and the USPTO.
