Q: How can I get a certificate for application number for patent Publication number 20170083400? Thank you
Would like to get information on how to obtain patent citification
A:
As this application has been published and you know the publication number, everything that has happened to date, including the filing receipt, is available as PDF files at USPTO Public PAIR.
https://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair
The default value for accessing a file is the application number. You can choose publication number and use 20170083400.
Once you go to the main screen, you can go to the tab labeled "Image File Wrapper" to access any of the transactions or to download the entire set of activities to date.
There is a hyperlink on the main page for this application to start the process to obtain a certified file wrapper. The USPTO creates a set of documents for this file and marks the set to show this is complete and accurate. There is a fee for getting a certified file history and it is rare to do so for a patent application that is still under review.
I discuss the use of Public PAIR in my slide set on patent searching at http://bit.ly/Patent_Searching
I hope this helps.
