2.23.3.2 The Document to be Amended

Date Published

The request should clearly indicate the document to be amended. When an amendment is directed to a specification, and there are several versions of the specification, or earlier requests for amendment of the specification, on file, examiners should ensure that the amendment is directed to the appropriate document. Where a previous request under sec 104 has been allowed, a further request must be directed to the specification incorporating the allowed amendments. Similarly, after acceptance of a patent application, a request must be directed to the specification incorporating the amendments allowed at acceptance.
