This week, we have a little bit of something for everyone. For our PCT filers, we’ve improved our ePCT handling. For our forecast clients, we’ve added the ability to dynamically add fees to your forecast on the fly. Lastly, for all clients, we’ve added features to make it easier to monitor the age of your associate fee schedules.
Let’s take a look!
Platform Update: Improved Fee Schedule Management
We’re making it easier to keep track of your associate/firm fee schedules. You can now track the date you receive or update your fee schedules. Soon, you will also be able to access this data when creating forecasts or processing invoices – ensuring you aren’t using old fee schedules.
IP Forecaster Update: Improved application transmission options
We’ve made it easier to deal with complex scenarios where you have a mixture of transmission methods. Now, you can easily forecast costs with one transmission method for your international application, and another for your national phase applications.
IP Forecaster: Dynamic Fees
This new feature makes it easy to add ad hoc costs to your forecasts. Want to add a one-time special fee for a forecast? Simply select the cost category, enter a cost and the country to apply it to and you can add any fee to your forecast.
