USPTO Announces Private PAIR 6.0

The USPTO announced last Thursday its new patent software system, Private PAIR 6.0, via web-conference (link to archived conference below). Aside from general changes regarding access to Private PAIR, security updates, and the like, a "First Action Prediction and Status Letter" function was introduced, intending to give applicants a general time frame as to when to expect comments from the PTO after its initial application review. Note that you must be a registered user at the PTO in order to access Private PAIR and (perhaps) the webcast below.
