Migration Tool Now Available for EFS-Web and Private PAIR

Written October 4, 2018

The US Patent and Trademark Office announced that a migration tool is now available for existing PKI digital certificate holders (registered practitioners and independent inventors) to link their USPTO.gov accounts to their current PKI digital certificates. This comes on the heels of the authentication change for EFS-Web and Private PAIR.

The new method grants access to multiple USPTO systems with one consolidated sign-in and eliminates shared credentials by providing practitioners and their support staff with their own USPTO.gov accounts. To successfully migrate, users must already have a USPTO.gov account. Learn more about the process at the USPTO’s website.
