Prior Art Module is becoming a time consuming way to manage IDS?
-
Recently, adding a new reference to prior art requires us to enter a "title" of a document. This is an extremely time consuming thing when AppColl no longer became unable to obtain information from Google patent.
Most information is filled in with information retrieved from EPO which most often is incorrect. We've been manually typing the publication/issue date in to reflect correct ones. When AppColl requires a "title" of the document, when the document is in foreign langues, then we would have to search somewhere else to find English titles for those documents.
IDS forms do not indicate any "titles". We are puzzled why this recent change was made to require a "title" to be inserted. If we are doing something wrong, and there's a way to easily enter a "title" when AppColl cannot automatically fills in, please let us know.

@KozueL5421 We are working on fully integrating with EspaceNet which will speed things up and populate the requisite data. This is likely to happen by end of week. We hope this helps.
