@McAndrewsIP concludes large-scale study of design patent applications filed @USPTO during 5-year period spanning 2014-19. Results can be found @BigPatent bigpatentdata.com/2020/02/de…. #Designpatents no longer sail through USPTO unscathed. Kudos to @DunstanBarnes for taking the helm

The Open PAIR Coalition has raised the PAIR/data accessibility issues with the PPAC and it is supposed to be in the IT update agenda for tomorrow's meeting. Watch here: uspto.gov/about-us/events/at…
PPAC IT Update complete. Don't worry everybody! Its just "ghosts" (i.e., the problems are not real) and "bots"! Once we chase those away, manual, captcha-protected, one-off file wrapper downloads will be much more reliable! #ITLikeIts1999

Users Lament PAIR Changes During USPTO Forum ipwatchdog.com/2020/01/30/us…
Filing of patent applications in DOCX format brings a lot of benefits, but currently it is not ready for prime time (as discussed in recent posts on @PatentDocs and Carl Oppedahl.) I have a suggestion for USPTO on how to speed adoption of DOCX filing. bigpatentdata.com/2020/01/pr…
Even if there is a status, it is often out-of-date relative to PAIR. It seems @USPTO is basically no longer funding the PEDS project (despite claiming it was a viable alternative when they locked down private PAIR, resulting in public PAIR being worse than ever)
Part of the USPTO's effort to end all automated docketing and send us back to the Stone Age. Learn more here: bigpatentdata.com/2019/12/wa…

We would like to know how you get and use legal information. Please take our short survey here, noacri.org/2019/11/25/noacri…, and share it with your networks.
I opened a can of worms at the Open Data Conference, but I think (hope) this short term pain will benefit us all in the long run. A reliable third-party mirror is a no-brainer and there are virtually zero technological barriers. @patentlyo

Unless and until public pair data is made more accessible, this effectively gives entrenched encumbants (anaqua, reedtech, et al.) even more ability to charge for mere access to file wrappers (as opposed to value-added processing of the file wrappers).
Interesting and maybe slightly inconvenient. @USPTO limiting Private PAIR access to only owned apps. Access to third party apps must be done thru Public PAIR. Starting...tomorrow. (To combat bot mining, but why not just set a limit?)
