#3 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>

(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>

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>
