USPTO-Waiver of 37 CFR1.312
February 27, 2004 on 2:31 pm | In USPTO |Waiver of 37 CFR1.312 for Documents Required by the Office of Patent Publication
February 24, 2004
In preparation of a patent for issuance as a patent grant, if the Office of Patent Publication discovers an error in the text, or drawings of a patent application, including any missing text, or an inconsistency between the drawings and the application papers, the Office of Patent Publication may require an appropriate amendment to the specification or drawings. 37 CFR 1.312, however, does not permit an amendment after the payment of the issue fee without withdrawal of the application from issue….In order to be able to accept such an amendment as may be required without having to withdraw an application from issue, the Office of Patent Publication is hereby delegated the authority to waive the requirement of 37 CFR 1.312 and accept an amendment filed after the payment of the issue fee.
