<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">When I look at the DAS Applicant Portal, I see the priority document, and a certificate of availability is there, but the \u201cLast Accessed\u201d cell is blank (as is the
\u201cTracked By\u201d cell).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">Perhaps we are setting up tracking incorrectly? (although I only see one button to \u201cAdd Tracking\u201d and one button to \u201cRemove Tracking\u201d and I added the case by pressing
the Add Tracking button and entering the relevant information) (As another aside, I do have other cases in my workbench that show \u201cLast accessed\u201d data and \u201cTracked By\u201d data.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">Also, I can confirm that the access code provided by the client is correct, as is the priority number and filing date. And I further double-checked and confirmed
that the information we provided to the USPTO is correct. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#0E2841">We have no way of confirming whether or not the USPTO misread or otherwise submitted an incorrect access code (or other priority information) that caused them to
fail to retrieve the priority document. It would be nice if the USPTO actually informed users that the retrieval attempt was unsuccessful and why.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

tracking in the WIPO Digital Access Service, you can see these errors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

more frequently and with greater and greater hoops to be jumped through to try to get the USPTO to electronically retrieve the certified copy of the priority document. In some cases, we needed to resort to obtaining a paper version of the certified copy ourselves
to provide to the USPTO because the USPTO is incapable of obtaining it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have the same question as Erin, and I cannot find an answer. Am I being dumb?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">An application ("FPA") was filed in a non-U.S. office, but one that participates in DAS.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">A U.S. non-provisional application ("USNP") was filed and claims priority to FPA.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The DAS code for FPA was not provided by the foreign associates before USNP was filed, so the DAS code does not appear in the field of the ADS.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 4/16 deadline is approaching, and I need to request that the USPTO retrieve a certified copy of FPA from DAS. (Will also be submitting an interim copy in case they dawdle.)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It seems like it should be simple to do this ("Hi, here's the DAS code for the application you already know about, please retrieve it"), and yet I cannot figure out how.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Years ago when I had to do this, I submitted an SB/38 form, which had an Option B that allowed the DAS code to be provided. But that form is dated 2017 and seems to have been abrogated.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current SB/38 form only "requests that the USPTO retrieve a copy of the following foreign priority application(s)
<u>that was not filed in a foreign intellectual property office participating with the USPTO in a priority document exchange agreement</u> ('Participating Office') but was submitted in an application subsequently filed with a Participating Office that permits
the USPTO to retrieve such copy." <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">That is not my situation. I just need to provide a DAS code so the USPTO can retrieve the application from another Participating Office.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do I submit a "corrected" ADS to provide the DAS code in the foreign priority info section?
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a different form to do this that I have missed? I looked through the list of forms provided by the USPTO and did not see anything that seemed applicable.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
