The problem that we see with this is that the task is set up as an Extendable External Deadline. While it is extendable, it is only extendable upon filing a time extension. We would like to see this deadline type changed to something that is technically more accurate. When attorneys see the deadline type as extendable, they do not always pay enough attention to the actual task and this has caused missed deadlines. Has AppColl considered making a change to this deadline type?

@adminT7009 Great to hear! We have several workflows in mind, but none are currently possible without the API as all of our files are stored in AppColl. Simplest idea would be to set up a workflow that takes an new OA document, summarizes it, retrieves and summarizes prior art cited, and generates a shell response.

Hi Christian, we're working on it - should be available before the end of the year.

@PatrickM8836 Thanks for the suggestions. We'll past this on to engineering for their review.

I agree. I currently use a separate spreadsheet for organizing oddball tasks. One of the main benefits of this spreadsheet over AppColl is the ability to color code the task entries so I can better view / absorb the task list. I'd love to have this ability in AppColl and get rid of this additional spreadsheet.

@BrandonK6644 Whoops, looks like I had the same idea, but a few weeks later https://forum.appcoll.com/topic/343/set-task-background-color-based-on-taskstatus?_=1748361445416

Hi Whitney, this would be the same idea as your other question. We can certainly walk you through this. He's an in-depth link on creating reminder tasks automatically. I hope this helps.

p.s. send an email to support@appcoll.com to get something scheduled.

Hi Whitney - Since follow-up reminders can be very customized to a customer's needs, we do not have default tasks or reminders. You can easily create follow-up reminder tasks and emails. Would you like someone from Support to reach out and have a call to discuss in detail?

@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 Stephanie,

Do you have a Conflicts tab in your account? If so, hover over the tab and select the Add Keywords option. Does this help?

Hi Susan,

This might take some time as we have many projects ahead of this request. A hard date would be hard to nail down at this point.

Hi Catherine,

This has been added to your account. We hope this helps.

HI Rebecca,

We have added this to our list of items to address. We will certainly let you know when this has been added.

Yes you certainly can. If you have a custom matter user field already added to your settings, you may also add it to the matter importing spreadsheet. The system should recognize that custom field and import the data from that column that is in your spreadsheet.

Hi Christian - we'll look into making this an option. Thanks for the suggestion.
