The Electronic Filing System Software Enables Patent Applicants And Practitioners

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) would like to inform customers of changes to the Patent Electronic Filing System (EFS). The Patent Electronic Business Center (EBC) will discontinue support for PASAT within the next few months. Users can still import new and existing patent application specifications created using PASAT into EFS-ABX.

The Electronic Filing System (EFS) software enables patent applicants and practitioners to electronically author patent application information for submission to the USTPO via the Internet. EFS is comprised of three software components: the patent application specification authoring tool, the PDF creation tool and the submission software.

A new authoring tool, EFS-ABX, has replaced the initial authoring tool, PASAT. This new authoring tool utilizes the power and flexibility of Microsoft® Word to create patent application specifications in Portable File Format (PDF) and eXtensible Markup Language (XML). EFS-ABX is used in conjunction with the ABX PDF Writer software.

PASAT users should make preparations to begin using EFS-ABX. The Patent Electronic Business Center (EBC) is available to provide assistance with downloading, installing and creating your patent application specification using.
