Can the deadline for submitting corrected drawings be extended in response to a notice of allowability?

No, extensions of time are not permitted for submitting corrected drawings in response to a notice of allowability. The MPEP clearly states:

Extensions of time to provide acceptable drawings in response to a notice of allowability are not permitted.

This strict policy ensures that the patent granting process is not unnecessarily delayed and encourages applicants to submit corrected drawings promptly after receiving the notice of allowability.
