[Patentpractice] venting - failure to download priority document from DAS

[Dan Feigelson]

Filed an application that claims priority only from a non-US application.
Foreign priority app is in DAS (I checked with WIPO). Provided the USPTO
with the foreign application no. and the DAS retrieval code on an ADS at
the time of filing. Got the filing receipt, and it acknowledges the foreign
priority claim and that the DAS code was provided, and says that the USPTO
"will attempt to electronically retrieve" the priority doc. But of course,
the p.d. isn't yet in the electronic file.

That the PTO waits to retrieve the p.d. is not news, Carl and others have
written about it. But it still bugs me: how hard would it be for the PTO to
retrieve the document NOW instead of waiting?
