when they get around to processing the National Stage papers. I believe there is a backlog on that. However, the 4/16 clock keeps running.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Oh and yes there is a tenth "ask" namely that RO/US become a Depositing Office in DAS. We asked for this in the group letter of four years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Yeah, a group letter would be a good idea. there would be multiple "asks".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Sixth, Patent Center should display, in the foreign priority tab, the results of the cross-check against DAS (success or failure).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Seventh, </span>
<span style="font-family:"Libre Franklin";color:#333333;background:white">Patent Center should display, in the foreign priority tab, the results of the retrieval attempt from DAS. If the retrieval 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><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Libre Franklin";color:#333333;background:white">Eighth, any time that the USPTO tries to retrieve an ECC from DAS and fails, the USPTO should explicitly communicate this failure to the filer by means of an email notification, providing
verbatim the text of the error message from DAS.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Libre Franklin";color:#333333;background:white">Ninth, any time that the USPTO tries to retrieve an ECC from DAS and succeeds, the USPTO should explicitly communicate this success to the filer by means of an email notification.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
