How can I amend ‘Large Tables’ submitted in ASCII plain text format?

To amend ‘Large Tables’ submitted in ASCII plain text format, follow these steps as per 37 CFR 1.58(g):

  1. Submit a replacement ASCII plain text file via the USPTO patent electronic filing system or on a read-only optical disc
  2. Label any read-only optical disc as ‘REPLACEMENT MM/DD/YYYY’ with the date of creation
  3. Request incorporation by reference of the replacement file in a separate paragraph of the specification
  4. Provide a statement identifying the location of all deletions, replacements, or additions
  5. Include a statement that the replacement file contains no new matter

Note that amendments to information on a read-only optical disc must be made using a replacement read-only optical disc, not via the USPTO patent electronic filing system.
