Reminder: P-TACTS enforcement of multifactor authentication
Starting January 31, 2024, the Patent Trial and Appeal Case Tracking System (P-TACTS) will begin requiring multifactor authentication (two-step authentication) to comply with cybersecurity best practices. When you log in to your MyUSPTO account to access P-TACTS, you'll be directed to sign in using multifactor authentication.
You can set up multifactor authentication for P-TACTS through your MyUSPTO account:
- Navigate to https://my.uspto.gov/.
- Log in into your MyUSPTO account.
- Select your name in the upper right corner and click on “Account.”
- Under the Security Settings section, check the box next to Require multifactor authentication at all times. The default method to receive the authentication code is by email.
View visual step-by-step instructions.
If you already have set up multifactor authentication for your MyUSPTO account, you do not need to take any action.
You can find more information on multifactor authentication on the USPTO website.
Each user of P-TACTS must have their own login and a designated role in P-TACTS (e.g., Lead Counsel, Staff). You can find more information about P-TACTS user roles on the USPTO website.
If you have questions or need support, email PTABP-TACTSAdmin@uspto.gov or contact the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at 571-272-8850.
