USPTO to Disconnect Voice Response Systems for Deposit Account and Maintenance Fee Information

According to the USPTO's notice published August 24, 2004, "The existing VRS hardware and software have become increasingly obsolete and subject to downtime. As the same information provided on the VRS can now be obtained at the Office of Finance website, the USPTO will be disconnecting the VRS phone numbers (703-306-4227 and 4228, 703-308-5036 and 5037, 703-308-5392 and 5393) effective September 24, 2004.
