What happens if submitted drawing corrections are not accepted?
If the submitted drawing corrections or changes are not accepted, the examiner will notify the applicant in the next Office action. The MPEP 608.02(x) specifies:
“Where the corrected or changed drawing is not accepted, for example, because the submitted corrections or changes are erroneous, or involve new matter or do not include all necessary corrections, the applicant will be notified and informed of any required corrective action in the next Office action.”
The examiner is required to provide a clear explanation of why the corrections were not approved and what actions the applicant needs to take to address the issues.
