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.

I've been working with law firms for many years simplifying their technologies while offering them the very best services & support. The model that I have created is based on the reality that IT sucks, and frankly, no one likes it. My experience tells me that this is especially true for law firms. In coming to that realization years ago I had to change the way I did business. Among many other services that we had to offer, in order to cater to law firms specifically, we had to become invisible and that's exactly what we have accomplished.
