Capturing PAIR documents supplementing rejections
-
It is really nice that AppColl grabs the PDFs of rejections from PAIR.
However, when the USPTO files an office action in PAIR, such as a CTFR rejection, there is often also a 892 List of references cited by the examiner, SRFW Searching information, FWCLM Index of claims, SRNT Examiner's search strategy, NPL Non patent literature, FOR Foreign references, and other documents. I use some of those when preparing to reply to an office action. Since AppColl only grabs the PDFs of rejections, and not those other files, I need to log in to PAIR for every office action and download the useful peripheral files.
It would be awesome if I could easily access every document in the PAIR file wrapper for a matter through AppColl so that I would never have to log in to PAIR to get the files I want.

Hi Jonah - While we currently grab the respective document(s) for each eOA --e.g. we do grab docs that go with 892 actions that come in-- I'll send this over to the Engineering team to see if it's something we can/should/could do. I like the idea of never having to log into PAIR (for various reasons, ha).
