Heres how to make a submission directly to the USPTO:
While patent examiners can search this siteAsk Patents, the best way to ensure they see your discovery is to submit it using the USPTO electronic filing system.
If you've proposed useful prior art at Ask Patents, there's a good chance a USPTO patent examiner will find that prior art when he or she examines the application in question.
However, to be sure that your prior art counts, submit it to the USPTO.
IfAnd if you’re going to make a submission, make sure it counts.
It’s important to only submit art that seems likely to be relevant to the application that it predates. (If you’re not sure, ask a new question about the relevance here on Ask Patents.) The goal is to make a meaningful contribution to the patent process, not spam a patent examiner’s inbox.
Remember: You can only submit 3 or fewer examples of prior art per patent application before the USPTO chargesfor free. At 4 or more, you a feemust pay.
