When are drawing corrections or changes accepted in a patent application?
According to MPEP 608.02(x), drawing corrections or changes are generally accepted at the time they are presented, unless the applicant is notified otherwise by the examiner in the subsequent Office action. The MPEP states:
“Drawing corrections or changes will be entered at the time they are presented, unless applicant is notified to the contrary by the examiner in the action following the amended drawing submission.”
This means that applicants can typically assume their drawing corrections have been accepted unless they receive specific notification stating otherwise.
