What is the process for submitting corrected drawings after OPAP objection?

If OPAP objects to the drawings in a patent application, there is a specific process for submitting corrected drawings. The MPEP states:

“If OPAP objects to the drawings and sends applicant a Notice requiring submission of corrected drawings within a set time period (usually two months), corrected drawings must be filed, in paper, to the mailing address set forth in the Notice, along with any other items required by OPAP, to avoid abandonment of the application. No fee will be necessary for filing corrected drawings which are required by OPAP.”

It’s important to note that the corrected drawings must be submitted in paper form to the specific mailing address provided in the Notice. Applicants should ensure they meet the deadline (typically two months) to avoid potential abandonment of their application.
