USPTO Login No Longer Works With Google Chrome

by | Apr 24, 2015 | Useful Tech Tips

If you’re a patent attorney, you know that whenever there’s a java update it is sometimes questionable whether you will be able to log in to private pair or EFS-web. If you’re a Google Chrome user, this task is about to become a lot harder.

In an attempt to jump start the use of HTML 5, Google Chrome has limited the use of Java since version 42. This means you’ll have to find a new browser to file patents, we suggest Firefox. HTML 5 will be awesome but this change will really cause problems for Chrome users looking to login to USPTO.gov. Simply install Firefox via the link below and run both browsers in tandem.

As CEO of Rekall Technologies, I’ve been helping small business owners simplify their technology since 2011. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how IT becomes frustrating, time-consuming, and a constant distraction from running a business. That experience is what drove me to build Rekall differently. I didn’t want clients adjusting their businesses to fit their IT—I built services that adapt to how real businesses actually operate. My philosophy is simple: technology should be secure, stable, and effectively invisible. When IT is done right, it stays out of the way and gives you the freedom to focus on your clients, your team, and growing your business with confidence.
