<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In my experience, it is those same-day responses that get lost at the PTO. They don\u2019t seem to be able to match an incoming applicant paper as a response to an outgoing PTO paper
of the same date. It does not matter what I titled the paper (I think there\u2019s a required title). This problem predates Patent Center.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I have had this problem with missing parts notices (especially if they want more than fees), and these after-issue-fee or after-allowance drawing problems. Even if they take the
fees (which they always do), the do not match the papers. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">So, as pissed off as I get from these after-issue-fee drawing notices (especially in US national phase applications), and as easy and therapeutic as it might be to respond, if I remember, I
wait at least one day before filing a response.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
