New addition to the PatentAdvisor browser extension: the QuickPAIR timeline! New Features The QuickPAIR application timeline visualization has been added to the browser extension, giving you a bird's eye view of an application's prosecution history. When you search on Patent Center and go to the "Documents & Transactions" tab, you will see this interactive visualization at the top of the page.

Browser extension users: connection with Patent Center restored! We have released an update to restore access on Chrome, Edge and Firefox. The update should automatically update on your browser. If it does *not* please manually update the extension.
