What do you like best about PATTSY WAVE?

tracking deadlines

the analytics are a really cool feature that is new to me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PATTSY WAVE?

1) I would love to be able to run a combined trademark and docket report. So, a report of all of a client's trademarks alongside all their due dates.

2) It seems that the Canadian applications that are published do not get labeled as published in the analytics report. They stay at pending.

3) I don't think my performance analysis feature works correctly.

4) I wish the excel spreadsheet that it prints had better formatting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PATTSY WAVE?

Searching features; managing statutory deadlines; autodocketing of important actions (i.e. U.S. office actions); USPTO data validation; client reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PATTSY WAVE?

data validation for foreign trademarks and patents are not that efficient - applications numbers for example have to be in specific formatting; you cannot create/edit special fields for pedigree data in the main fields (i.e. unique firm/client reference numbers); when you do a 'mass' search for client portfolio (for example), you should be able to jump from record to record instead of hitting the 'next arrow' continuously; all PW platforms should have the new AQS annutities management tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PATTSY WAVE solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data migration - we acquired a new attorney who brought in a large patent portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PATTSY WAVE?

Any upgrades to the system or updates to the law files happen automatically. It is very easy in that regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PATTSY WAVE?

It auto-dockets useless deadlines every time a new application is entered. (Status Checks, Publication deadlines in EP Validation states, and many more.) Even following the instructions to suppress unwanted actions didn't stop them. Limited law files - many deadlines need to be calculated yourself and manually entered. Reporting capabilities are VERY LIMITED. Storing documents in the file records is not particularly easy, and bulk downloading a file is not possible. This makes Due Diligence or Production of Documents extremely time consuming! It cannot be used on a laptop screen because there are no vertical scroll bars! Anything below the main details of the case screen is not visible and you have no way to scroll to it. (This includes things like the list of inventors, assignees, family members, and custom fields.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PATTSY WAVE solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a means to document the applications we have filed, and keep track of deadlines, though you have to manually delete or sift through unwanted junk to get to the deadlines you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gina Schroeder of PATTSY WAVE

Hello,

We would like to schedule a call to discuss your concerns. We have searched our customer support records for the past few years and can’t locate any support calls with this concern. Since this post is anonymous, we would appreciate that you call us so we can show you how straight forward it is to configure your rule set/law filet to suppress any events you do not wish to see. We could also review any best practices in general to configure PATTSY WAVE to match your internal processes.
