Case Documentation Upload

The Case Documentation Upload page allows you to attach up to five files of the chosen document type to the case to be uploaded. You may return to this page multiple times if you have more than five files to upload.

File requirements:

  • Combined into one file if possible, for files of the same document type
  • .PDF or .TIF format
  • Not larger than 40MB
  • Not encrypted
  • Free of viruses
  • Filename of not more than 80 characters
  • No spaces in the filename; no special characters other than hyphen (-), period (.), or underscore (_)

Note: Only documentation for the selected document type should be uploaded. To ensure proper handling, requests for other types of defense must be submitted by returning to the Submit Case Documentation page, selecting the applicable document type, and uploading the related documentation.

Click Choose File next to one of the five document locations to search for a file to add to your existing defense. Once you have chosen one or more documents, click Continue to attach the document(s), or click Cancel to return to the Submit Case Documentation page without uploading any documents.
