What are the objections to showing modified forms of construction in the same figure?

Showing modified forms of construction in the same figure is objectionable under 37 CFR 1.84(h)(5). The MPEP section 608.02(f) provides a form paragraph (6.22.05) that examiners can use to object to such drawings:

“The drawings are objected to under 37 CFR 1.84(h)(5) because Figure [1] show(s) modified forms of construction in the same view.”

This objection is made to ensure clarity in patent drawings and to prevent confusion between different forms or modifications of the invention. Applicants are required to submit corrected drawing sheets in compliance with 37 CFR 1.121(d) to address this objection.
