No, patent applications don't need to be filed via fax. I've heard bad things about the various USPTO websites, so fax might have been the guy's preference as I can see it being relatively simpler.

- geraldwhen 4y agoCertain patent types are required by law to be submit via facsimile. It’s in the code of federal regulations. This comes up almost immediately when studying to be a parent examiner.
