[Pct] Ex Officio Changes to the Request form

[Russell Nugent]

Dear Group,

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?

They then rejected my POA as not being signed by all of the applicants.

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)?


Thanks,

RUSSELL D. NUGENT
