"Pattsy Wave has been very helpful"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PATTSY WAVE?

I like being able to log onto PattsyWave wherever I have internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PATTSY WAVE?

I've run into some issues, where Pattsy Support has to get in touch with our IT department, in order to access the server. Not the biggest issues, but sometimes doesn't allow the problem to be solved right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gina Schroeder of PATTSY WAVE

We are glad that you have a had a good experience with PATTSY WAVE. We understand it may be difficult to get internal IT departments to focus on individual support issues. If this is an ongoing problem, you can consider moving PATTSY WAVE to our fully hosted environment. Moving to the hosted environment would mean we would provide all support for the application as well as installation of upgrades and all law updates.

"1 Year in on a New IP Docketing System"
4/5
What do you like best about PATTSY WAVE?

The ability to autodocket from TSDR and PP is pretty excellent. The amount of time it saves me on reviewing USPTO notices everyday is significant. Also, not necessarily the platform itself, but the techs behind the scene have some of the best customer service skills I've dealt with. I have yet to not get a human being on the other end of the phone and they've been super helpful in automating docketing and being receptive to my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PATTSY WAVE?

I can't really pick anything that disappoints me about Pattsy except nitpicky things like not being able to rearrange inventors which I get is because it is necessary to have them in a specific order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buyer Beware. Cumbersome Initial set up of PATTSY WAVE"
1/5
What do you like best about PATTSY WAVE?

Web-Based interface. Fast when moving around from case to case. The family tab with a got to different case with a click function. The family tree print out function. All of the links with country patent websites. The auto docket & down load feature. I really like the one line action item docketing. There are not multiple line reminders or actions this makes reading a docket report much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PATTSY WAVE?

The biggest problem we've had with PATTSY WAVE was the transferring of our data. We were asked to give our database over to the transfer team at OP Solutions. We did. The team didn't ask questions just did the transfer. Because of this status were incorrect on all migrated Invention Disclosures, Provisional applications. Expired provisional showed up in PATTSY as pending or proposed. Docketing was entered numerous times. Our migrated docketed items and then PATTSY would docket it's way because auto docketing using the country law was not turned off. This meant an annuity or maintenance fee was on a case 3 or 4 times with the same due date but with a different action name. This was truly a data dump. OP Solutions did minimal communication during the entire process. We are going to be moving another portfolio from a different site this fall and I'm actually scared for OP Solutions to migration of the data.

The reports are another problem. When you try to run a docket report using the Docket Report tab and as to print to Excel you don't get a true standard excel spread sheet. It is virtually impossible to sort this report unless you spend a lot of time removing merged cells and such. I had to make a quick report in order to export to a standard excel spreadsheet and still have to make changes to it in order to do custom sorting.

These are the two biggest issues I'm having with PATTSY WAVE. All of the other issues are not as paralyzing and I can work around them or by pass them all together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
