Learn how to file DOCX documents in your applications using the Patent Center

Join the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for training webinars on how to file in DOCX through the Patent Center. The next available trainings are March 10, 15, 17, 22, 29, and 31.

We recommend viewing this video about how to file DOCX documents in the Patent Center training mode in advance of the webinar.

blog from USPTO leadership highlighted many benefits of DOCX filing in the patent application process, including:

  • Elimination of the need to convert structured text into a PDF for filing
  • Instant feedback analysis to detect common errors that may otherwise delay processing an application
  • Automatic metadata detection and removal to support the submission of only substantive information in the file

The eCommerce Modernization (eMod) team will provide information and conduct a demo using the Patent Center training mode, followed by a question-and-answer session. We encourage applicants to use the Patent Center training mode to practice filing in DOCX without saving or storing data to USPTO systems.

Please visit the Patents DOCX filing upcoming events page to register for an upcoming training webinar.

You will receive instructions for joining the webinar by email prior to your registered session.
