What payment methods are accepted for electronic submission of assignment documents?
The USPTO accepts multiple payment methods for the electronic submission of assignment documents through the Electronic Patent Assignment System (EPAS). As stated in MPEP 302.10:
“Customers may submit assignments electronically by accessing the Office’s website and paying the required fee by credit card, electronic fund transfer (EFT) or deposit account.”
These payment options provide flexibility for users when submitting assignment documents electronically. It’s important to ensure that you have one of these payment methods available before initiating the submission process.
