The Electronic Filing System Software Enables Patent Applicants And Practitioners

The Patent Electronic Business Center (EBC) will discontinue support for PASAT within the next few months. Users can still import new and existing patent application specifications created using PASAT into EFS-ABX.
The Electronic Filing System (EFS) software enables patent applicants and practitioners to electronically author patent application information for submission to the USTPO via the Internet. EFS is comprised of three software components: the patent application specification authoring tool, the PDF creation tool and the submission software.

PASAT users should make preparations to begin using EFS-ABX. The Patent Electronic Business Center (EBC) is available to provide assistance with downloading, installing and creating your patent application specification using.
