For the defects existing in the application documents that can be eliminated through correction, the applicant shall make corrections according to the examiner's notice of correction. The applicant shall not modify the application documents for a patent for invention or utility model beyond the scope recorded in the original specification and claims, or modify the application documents for a patent for design beyond the scope indicated in the original pictures or photographs. In the modified part of the specification or the claims of an application for a patent for invention or utility model, a replacement page shall be submitted in the prescribed format, except for individual text modification or addition or deletion. Where a picture or photograph of an application for a patent for design is modified, a replacement page shall be submitted in accordance with the provisions. At the same time, it is necessary to attach a supplementary book in the prescribed format.
Second, what documents are needed for patent correction?
Corrections include corrections to application documents and corrections to other documents. The difference between the two is that if the defects of the application documents are not corrected according to law, the application will be regarded as withdrawn or rejected, and if other documents are not corrected according to law, the document will be regarded as not submitted, but it will not directly lead to the application being regarded as withdrawn or rejected. The correction of application documents refers to overcoming the defects in the format of patent application documents by submitting corrected documents.
In addition to the modifications, you should also submit the modified reference page of the modified file (that is, let the examiner know where the modification has been made, delete it with strikethrough and add it with underline) and the modified clean version (replace the page, and do not submit the unmodified part). Please note that if your revision results in different page contents, you should submit it. For example, if only the third paragraph describing page 2 is modified, the fourth paragraph and the following contents will not be changed. If there is something on the page that reaches the third page, you only need to submit the second page, but if there is something on the page that reaches the third page, you need to submit the second and third pages. The safest way is to submit the revised whole document. )
