How are multiple amendments filed on the same day handled?

When multiple amendments are filed on the same day for a patent application, they are treated as a single composite document. The MPEP 714.18 states: “When several amendments are made in an application on the same day no particular order as to the hour of the receipt or the mailing of the amendments can be assumed, but consideration of the application must be given as far as possible as though all the papers filed were a composite single paper.” This approach ensures that all amendments are considered together in the context of the application.
