Make sure your payment methods have been moved to Financial Manager.

If you pay PTAB fees using a deposit account or EFT, you should have already moved your account to Financial Manager. If your deposit account has not been moved, you will not be able to make payments and submit your filings.

Early next week, the USPTO will remove the ability to pay PTAB fees using deposit accounts and EFTs that are not stored in Financial Manager. To pay using a payment method stored in Financial Manager, login on the payment page using your uspto.gov email address and password as prompted.

If you need help or more information, visit www.uspto.gov/financialmanager to learn more about these upcoming changes and the advantages of storing all of your payment methods in Financial Manager. For additional information, you may also call the USPTO Contact Center for one-on-one assistance at 571-272-1000 or 800-786-9199 (select option 3, then option 4), or email FeesHelp@uspto.gov.
