[Patentpractice] Large Tables ASCII Format

[Suzannah K. Sundby]

Facts:

National Phase application was filed with pages and pages of tables.

Application allowed.

Got a Notice to Correct Application Papers because font of Tables too small.

Increasing the font size makes the total pages close to 900 pages, which requires 11 ADDITIONAL units of application size fees from what was previously paid.

I have the tables in ASCII format (prepared for a CON).

Question: In response to the Notice, can we amend the specification to delete the embedded tables and provide in ASCII format (by amending the specification to incorporate the ASCII tables)?

I understand extra page fees are calculated as 3 KB = 1 page, which significantly decreases the amount of fees to something like 2 additional units of application size fees.


I called patent publications (waited over an hour), they transferred me to "case resolution team" for post-allowance stuff, who simply said they don't know.  I thus called OPLA and got no one and hence left a message hours ago.
