    <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>
    </p>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">
      <p>Sixth, Patent Center should display, in the foreign priority
        tab, the results of the cross-check against DAS (success or
        failure).</p>

          from DAS worked, Patent Center needs to say so, along with the
          date that it happened and whether or not that date satisfies
          the 4-and-16 date.  If the retrieval from DAS failed, Patent
          Center needs to say so.</span></p>
