Investigating -
The FIP Patent Center - PAIR document retrieval process is not working, which automatically downloads documents from the USPTO into the FIP events tab, resulting in missing events and preventing clients from receiving their expected documents.
The technical teams have been engaged to investigate the underlying cause of the issue.
Until the issue is fully resolved, clients are requested to manually log in to the USPTO website, download the required documents individually, upload them into the system, and then proceed with processing.
We'll share the next update by Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 17:45 UTC or earlier as events warrant.
