    <p>Recall that we already sent a group letter about DAS.  You can
      read about it here:

      .  This was on February 22, 2020.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Oh and the new group letter can remind the reader that this is
      already our second time asking for the end of the foot-dragging. 
      We asked for that in the group letter just mentioned, more than
      four years ago.</p>
    <p>Oh and yes there is a tenth &quot;ask&quot; namely that RO/US become a
      Depositing Office in DAS.  We asked for this in the group letter
      of four years ago.<br>

    <blockquote type="cite">
      
      <p>Yeah, a group letter would be a good idea.  there would be
        multiple &quot;asks&quot;.</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&#39;s example and
        provide a USPTO click path (perhaps within Patent Center) by
        which the filer can carry out the &quot;action&quot; (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&#39;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>
        <p>Sixth, Patent Center should display, in the foreign priority
          tab, the results of the cross-check against DAS (success or
          failure).</p>
