on drawings -- I usually politely point out that the USPTO
downgraded the drawings, and that we are re-submitting them for
convenience sake. You can submit the repsonse via ePCT to avoid
USPTO image damage again. I've never had that response rejected.<br>

I filed a PCT application in the USPTO (client's decision not
mine) and I have gotten some confusing correspondence back. The
USPTO made ex officio changes that I can object to. The first
change was that all of the inventors that were listed as
Inventors only have been changed to inventors and applicants.
Can anyone think of a reason they would decide on their own end
that the inventors are applicants too?</div>

They then rejected my POA as not being signed by all of the
applicants. </div>

In addition, what is the current thinking/solution to the images
being degraded by the USPTO. They objected to the drawings as
not being clear, and the drawings that I downloaded from Patent
Center are of poor quality. Resubmitting the drawings that are
good quality will presumably not fix this issue. Suggestions
and advice please (other than to file in WIPO next time)?</div>
