e-Office Action Registration
In order to benefit from the e-Office Action Pilot Program enhancements, one must be a registered participant in the program. One can register for the e-Office Action Pilot Program by e-mailing your request to participate and Customer Numbers to the PAIR team at ebc@uspto.gov . As an alternative to receiving new outgoing correspondence related to a patent application in paper via postal mail, pilot participants in the e-Office Action program receive an e-mail notifying them to directly access outgoing documents in Private PAIR.
