What happens if an amendment after allowance is not entered?

If an amendment after allowance is not entered, the examiner will notify the applicant using form PTOL-271 or PTO-271. As stated in MPEP 1303.01:

“If the amendment is not entered, the examiner will notify the applicant by using form PTOL-271 or PTO-271.”

This notification informs the applicant that their amendment was not accepted and provides an opportunity for the applicant to take appropriate action, such as filing a continuation application or requesting reconsideration.
