303.02(a)    TEAS "Success" Page

When a document is filed electronically, the USPTO generally receives it within seconds after filing.  TEAS almost immediately displays a "Success" page that confirms receipt.  This page may be printed or copied-and-pasted into an electronic record for storage, and used as evidence of filing should any question arise as to the filing date of the document.
