Active amendment of patent application
Are you in the stage of replying to the notice of review opinions? If yes, as long as the reply period of the notice of examination opinions does not exceed 4 months, you can supplement and correct your claim, but if the examiner has issued the notice of examination opinions for the second time. It's no use changing it again. You can revise it when you answer the second time, and your application will not be rejected directly. You can also call the examiner directly and say that it needs to be revised. Can you ask him? I think as long as he hasn't started to review, it should be no problem. What is said downstairs is that the examination guide clearly points out five situations that are not in conformity with paragraph 3 of Article 5 1 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law, and the examiner will not accept your revised text in those five situations. Those five situations are that you actively expand the scope of protection, add new independent claims and so on. I think what you want to ask is to correct mistakes, such as too many claims and unclear claims. This defect should be overcome. If your patent has the prospect of authorization, in this case, even if the examiner does not point out this defect, you can take the initiative to correct it, and the examiner will accept the revised text, which is clearly stipulated in the review guide.
