@ChristianS9906 Thank you for the great suggestion. We will pass this on to engineering.

RE: Fast Track - Add: PPH
Hi Aaron - If you scroll to the bottom left of the page, you should see the PPH Country drop down menu. Does this work for you?

RE: Now that we have an EBD field, we need to be able to reference it as Response Date for task scheduling
Hi Bruce and Christian - The EarliestBenefitDateEdited was not meant to be included in task triggers. This will removed. It's an internal field we use to know whether an EBD has been manually edited by the user.
If another connection is added to a matter, we will automatically recalc the EBD, for the current matter as well as each matter in the family (assuming a change is needed). I hope this helps.

RE: IDS Reference Count
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.

RE: IDS Reference Count
Hi Catherine. We'll have to look further into this. I was under the impression you're supposed to restart the count for each section.

RE: Count of Office Actions and RCE
@BrandonK6644 We worked in depth with our developers on this today. Unfortunately, there is not a way to make this work within the current reporting capabilities of AppColl.
Apologies for the delay.

RE: Now that we have an EBD field, we need to be able to reference it as Response Date for task scheduling
Hello all. This has been added. Thanks.
-
RE: IDS Reference Count
We should already be doing this. See below. Do you have any SB08a where this is not happening?

RE: Ability to specify whether USPTO e-Office Action tasks default to Transient Events
So sorry for the delay. We have increased the priority on this one. We will announce when this has been done.

RE: Now that we have an EBD field, we need to be able to reference it as Response Date for task scheduling
We will allow for the EBD field as a triggering event and the ability to select it in the Response Date drop-down for task types.

RE: New USPTO IDS fees
@MelissaT3398 The new form was pushed out yesterday from the PTO. We should have it in AppColl by tomorrow. I hope this helps.

RE: New calculated field suggestion - EBD
We're working on populating this date in the next day or so. Thanks for your understanding.

RE: New calculated field suggestion - EBD
Bruce and Christian,
Official Filing Date is not auto-populated. It is a manual entry field.
The EBD is being deployed in the next day or so. I will add back to this thread. Thanks for the patience.

RE: Improved add columns interface
This has been added. Apologies for the delay. We hope this helps.

RE: Improved add columns interface
Hi Christian - so sorry for the delay. We have been swamped with other projects. This should be added within a month.

RE: New USPTO IDS fees
Hi Benjamin - we are awaiting the new form to be released so we can begin work on this. We will make an announcement when this has been implemented. We hope this helps.

RE: New calculated field suggestion - EBD
Yes this will be done by year-end.

RE: New calculated field suggestion - EBD
@ChristianS9906 Got it. I will add this as a new feature request.

RE: New calculated field suggestion - EBD
Hi Christian,
We can probably do this with the assumption that priority claims are made based on 35 USC 119. Just so I am crystal clear, we would put the EBD as the earliest filed application whether it's provisional or not? Or ignore the provisional's filing date?

RE: Copy Button for Application Number
Thanks for the suggestion. We will certainly pass this on to engineering.
-
RE: Priority Date ... why can it be different from filing date?
The reason may have been to stop generating a number of tasks when the priority date changes. This allows you to manually edit what you need.

RE: Invoice Discounts - please add $ amount option
This is a good idea and something we have added as a new feature request with our engineering group. We will let you know when this has been implemented. An ETA is not know as of yet. Thanks.
-
RE: Improved add columns interface
@ChristianS9906 - Sorry for the delay. We bumped the priority of this so it should get done much quicker. I don't have an exact ETA on this. I hope this helps.

RE: Put correct "Items through" date in bills
HI George - only the payments and retainer sections should show 10-03-24. The reason why is that we will allow payments to be pulled into the invoice up to the date it's resaved. The idea being, if a customer made a partial payment on Oct-01, we want to include that if the invoice was regenerated on the 3rd.
With that being said, we will add some text that says Payment and Retainers through October 3, 2024. We hope this helps.

RE: {Matter.FirstInventorAsFiled}
We have added this as a formal new feature request. We will let you know when this has been added.

RE: Alternate form letter field if original field is blank?
Hi Leslie,
We're working with engineering to see if this is possible. We will get back to you soon. Thanks.

RE: Is there a way to have AppColl trigger all the tasks in a workflow at once?
Yes, there is. You can use triggers for multiple task types that are all the same. So task 1 would trigger when some other action occurs. Task 2 would trigger from the exact same action as task 1 did. Same with tasks 3, 4, etc.

RE: Import refs from Patent Center rather than Espacenet
We evaluated this and came to the conclusion that the data in Patent Center was incomplete and some times invalid. As such, we still rely on eSpaceNet which has cleaner data at this time.
We will look at this again down the road to se if things have gotten better.
