How do I add a “Sequence Listing XML” to my patent application?

To add a “Sequence Listing XML” to your patent application, you must follow the requirements specified in 37 CFR 1.835(a). The MPEP provides guidance on this process:

“Adding a “Sequence Listing XML” where one was not previously filed must conform with the requirements of 37 CFR 1.835(a). See MPEP § 2414.02 for details.”

It’s important to ensure that the added “Sequence Listing XML” complies with all the necessary requirements to avoid further notifications or potential abandonment of the application.
