        <p>Yeah, a group letter would be a good idea.  there would be
          multiple "asks".</p>
        <p>First, can they stop the foot-dragging on the retrieval.  In
          present procedure, they always foot-drag the retrieval until
          the case is getting released from the OPAP to the Examining
          Corps.  The correct behavior would be to retrieve the ECC
          (electronic certified copy) without delay, later the same day
          after the filer requests the retrieval.</p>
        <p>Second, can they eliminate the human hand-keyed aspect of
          this.  The ADS provides the DAS access code in
          computer-readable characters.  The USPTO should extract the
          computer-readable DAS access code from inside the XML of the
          ADS, and should auto-load these computer-readable characters
          directly into the retrieval system.  It is stupid to flatten
          the ADS to an image, and then halftone it, and then resample
          the DPI, and then ask a human being at the USPTO to read it
          and hand-key it into the retrieval system.</p>
        <p>Third, can the USPTO please just take WIPO's example and
          provide a USPTO click path (perhaps within Patent Center) by
          which the filer can carry out the "action" (as in ePCT) of
          requesting the retrieval.  And then the click path will do a
          real-time lookup in DAS and in real time, the click path will
          display the results of the real-time lookup.  In this way, the
          filer can instantly learn whether there is a problem with the
          DAS code.  And then the actual retrieval should proceed in an
          automatic way.<br>
        </p>
        <p>Fourth, in the case where the filer is providing the DAS
          access code in an ADS, can Patent Center simply extract the
          computer-readable DAS access code from the ADS and validate it
          in real time against DAS, at the time of the upload of the
          ADS.</p>
        <p>Fifth, in the case where the filer is providing the DAS
          access code in a web-based ADS, can Patent Center simply
          validate it in real time against DAS, at the time of the
          upload of the filer's entry of the DAS access code into the
          web-based ADS.  Note that we first asked for this in July of
          2020.<br>
