Upload Office Action

You do not have the document in front of you

Tell us what you know about your Office Action and we will work out what you are looking at and what your deadline is.

You do not need the PDF to start. If you know the application number, roughly when the Office Action was mailed, or even just that one arrived and you are worried about the deadline, tell us and we will work out where you stand. If you do have access to USPTO Patent Center, downloading the action first makes everything faster — but it is not a precondition for asking.

My attorney has the document and I want a second opinion.

A common and legitimate reason to be here. Tell us what you know — the application number and the approximate mailing date is usually enough for a first conversation.

What helps us help you

The application number, in the form 17/123,456 if you have it.

Roughly when the Office Action was mailed, even to the nearest month.

Whether the document said FINAL anywhere, if you remember.

Where the applicant is located — it determines whether US representation is required.

What you are trying to decide, which is often more useful than any of the above.

Found the PDF after all?

Questions people ask

Not automatically — we do not currently connect to USPTO data services, so we work from what you send us. Application status and documents are publicly available through Patent Center for published applications.

Say that. Urgency changes what we do first: establishing the real date, including whether an extension is still available, comes before anything else.
