Whether you're monitoring your client's application or a competitor's, you can track any application by turning on Alerts. Once an application is switched on, Juristat sends you an email every Monday morning summarizing key prosecution updates, including:
Examiner assignment or change
Final or Non-Final Rejection
Ex parte Quayle action
Restriction Requirement or Species Election
Notice of Allowance
Setting up alerts is a two-step process: first you create an alert and define what it covers, then you turn it on for the applications you want to watch.
Step 1: Create your alert
Create your alerts on the Alerts Configuration page. To get there, click the caret icon next to your name in the left menu bar and select Alerts, or use this link.
By default, an alert applies to every application you've enabled alerts for. To narrow an alert to a specific group of applications, add rules. Rules let you scope an alert by criteria such as:
Customer number
Tech center
Art unit
Examiner
Assignee
Rules matter because of how Step 2 works: when you turn on alerts for an application, every alert whose rules match that application will trigger. There's no way to attach a single specific alert to one application. Adding rules is how you keep each alert focused, so you only receive the notifications you need instead of all of them.
Step 2: Turn on alerts for your applications
Once your alert is created, choose the applications you want it to watch. You can do this in Table view. Find the application you want to monitor and click the bell icon next to the application number. That application will now generate every alert whose rules match it.
Have a lot of applications you're interested in? No problem. You can turn on alerts for as many as you like, and all key updates are summarized in a single Monday email.
