I created a report of all my matters. I sorted it by Application Number then by Examiner Name so that Examiner Name is that main sorting criteria. For any given examiner name, the application numbers were in order. I saved it as a new test report. I opened some other report and then opened my test report. The matters were sorted by examiner name, but for any given examiner name, the application numbers were in no predictable order.

If there is an existing way to save a report with a multi-level sort as Kim requests, I would love to know.

@BerndN5890

Can we ask how you arrived at that URL via navigating Patent Center?

@MikeO5888 Thanks! Have a good day.

@GeorgeJ4336
This happens for us frequently as well. Our work around is to forward the email to the appropriate AppColl email address (ex. xxxxm123@intake.appcoll.com). I generally just put "for the file" in the email message, but this way it is saved to the matter, the documents are saved separately AND the message appears in the conversation tab.

@jonah-soundhound-com I use Patent Center. I haven't used EFS-Web for months. The missing fonts issue I mentioned above relates to Patent Center. I did not try uploading the IDS via EFS-Web. I agree, it does not make sense to spend engineering effort to help with problems in a system that is planned for deprecation. However, Patent Center is not planned for deprecation.

Thank you for the feedback.

@JohnG8374

This is a significant project that we have formally added to our project list. This may take quite a bit of time.

Thanks.

@gregg_appcoll Perfect! Thanks.

I can now automatically address e-mail correspondence to examiners, such as to request interviews. In the "To" field, I put:

{Matter.Examiner} <{Matter.Examiner(FirstWord)}.{Matter.Examiner(LastWord ToTitleCase)}@USPTO.gov>

and in the salutation, I put:

Dear Examiner {Matter.Examiner(LastWord ToTitleCase)}:

-George

@AlexandreP4784 Thank you for the input. We will pass this on to engineering for their consideration.

@RichardS3059 I have a follow-up question about this topic. Is there a way for the ReferenceDate of the "Request non-pub rescission" task to be the filing date of the non-US application? The task I created uses the US application filing date instead of the non-US application filing date as the reference date.

Hi Richard - setting up periodic reports is the way to go for exporting data. This can be sent to your SFTP server, S3 buckets or traditional email.

You can also send data to our SFTP server, which we can upload into your account. You would need to reach out if this route is something you're considering.

We hope this helps.

@RichardS3059 Do you have form letters attached to automatically generated tasks that are triggered when an eOfficeAction is received?

@BrandonK6644

So sorry for the delay. We have increased the priority on this one. We will announce when this has been done.

We have upped the priority of this. In the meantime, you can add a Fee offset billing item and enter the dollar amount you are discounting. We hope this helps.

@ChristianS9906 agree that is a good alternative

@CatherineVH9536-0

Hi Catherine. It looks like the new SB08a form resets the numbering for each category. And not a continuous number all the way through each category. We wouldn't be able to change this since the form forces the cite number. We hope this helps.

@JonahP1621 I'd like to see some built-in color schemes to choose from with text chosen to display well on the background chosen. Or at least the ability to change both background and text colors.

@jonah-soundhound-com And based on my experience, I can guarantee that foreign associates will do that.

@BerndN5890 Cool!

@support_appcoll Any update on this? We look at these tables every day. For what it's worth, Gemini gave me a workaround where I can create a bookmark that I can click when I view Appcoll to change the page display so that it doesn't statically truncate text, but it has to be clicked each and every time the page is loaded
