We bring you more UI cleanup this week and a new wizard to speed up the creation of nationalization forecasts! We are also starting to work on making the management of PCT receiving offices and search authorities easier – stay tuned for more in this area!
Let’s take a look at this week’s updates!
IP Forecaster: New PCT National Phase Forecast Wizard
There are some specific types of forecasts that users create regularly, like national phase estimates. We are starting to create dedicated workflows tailored specifically to these requirements – our National Phase Wizard is the first of several. Set your target national phase entry date, select your countries, enter some application details and you are good to go. Fast!
IP Forecaster: Improved Fee Configuration Screens
Last week, we cleaned up the forecast request screen, this week, we’ve cleaned up the fee configuration screen. Less frequently used fields are hidden under the advanced section and commonly used fields are quickly accessed at the top of the form.
IP Forecaster: Receiving Office and ISA combinations
If you do PCT forecasts, you know that your international search authority is tied to your receiving office. Until this release, you were responsible for entering valid combinations of receiving office and ISA. Now, we keep track of all of that. Enter your receiving office and we will make sure you don’t select Burundi as your ISA.
