GlobalDossier Alert Notification Function

Sends the user an alert when the status of an application changes

I would like to view the total government fees with a breakout per country.

USPTO is exploring providing alerting functionality via Global Dossier. This alert would inform users when changes occurred within the patent family that the user was watching.

Two options we are potentially considering are providing alerts via email or providing alerts via RSS feed. We would love to hear from you regarding which option you would prefer.

Is it possible to create a module program that connects to the main design program and in the design process finds patents and creates a list of acceptable patents for the project?

The main goal of the program is to offer the user a choice of patents for his project and to exclude conflict situations.

The IP5 is working on implementing alerting functionality to inform users to changes in the each application in the patent family. USPTO is currently evaluating providing this alerting via email and/or via RSS feeds. Please comment and provide feedback on the preferred format for receiving alerts.
