On Line File Histories

is pleased to offer its customers the opportunity to download their file histories moments after they have been saved.  If you order a US File to be sent via CD-Rom, you get to download the file the moment it is saved to our system!

This is how it works:  You place your order with us via fax, telephone, e-mail or our on-line order form.  You indicate that want to receive your file via electronic delivery.  We will post the file on the web site: www.OnLineFileHistories.com/XXXX.  The "XXXX" portion is your metroPatent account number. 

Free Test Drive!
User ID: 9876
Password: free

You will receive an e-mail indicating that the file is (or files are) ready for pick-up.  You will be given a link to the site.  Once you are there, you will be asked to enter your PTORunner User ID and password.  If entered correctly, you will be logged onto our secure dedicated server. 

At the server you will see your name with the names of fellow workers from your firm who may be picking-up a file or picked-up a file in the past.  Click on your name and then click on the folder corresponding to the file request.  In that folder you will find your file history.  RIGHT-MOUSE-CLICK and save the file to your computer.  If you requested cited references, they will be in a separate folder.
