What We Do

After filing a United States patent application, or an office response with the U.S. Patent Office (USPTO), have you ever wondered why you haven't heard anything from the USPTO?

The USPTO sends its communications to you primarily via the postal system.

Have there been times when you've never received a USPTO communication?

Have there been times when you've misplaced the USPTO communication?

Have there been times when a staff member did not file the USPTO communication correctly?

As a consequence have you ever had to pay avoidable surcharge fees to overcome a missed USPTO deadline?

As you know a patent application, both pending and
issued, has restrictive USPTO time constraints, which
need a timely response.

Let ceStatus do the hard work for you in monitoring all
of your patent applications, pending and issued, which you're interested in.

Pending USPTO Patent Applications

We will monitor, via the USPTO's Public PAIR and Assignments on the Web for Patents (AOTW-P) systems, any patent application that you register with ceStatus.

You do not need to be the patent application's USPTO's Attorney of Record.

Every week we check Public PAIR and AOTW-P for status and assignment changes respectively for each of the patent application numbers that you have registered with us.

We will email you any change in the status of any of your registered pending patent applications. This includes any new office actions, as well as the status and assignee of the application. Your chosen subscription period can vary from 1 month to 1 year, which can be renewed upon expiration.
