Subject: Re: [Pct] RO/106 and RO/107 received for drawings

In order to correct while preserving the filing date, I believe you have to explain why the mistake was obvious and unambiguous (i.e., it would be apparent that nothing else but the correction could have been intended). Not sure of the procedure for making the correction responsive to the RO/106 and RO/107 notices, but an example of correcting drawing number under Rule 91 is in PCT/US2021/051407 (request for rectification filed 2022-03-31):

Would anyone be available today to talk with me briefly about the best way to respond to two notices I received from WIPO?

Basically, the figures were mistakenly misnumbered and now I’ve received RO/106 and RO/107 notices stating that my filing date will be corrected to the date on which I file the corrected drawings.  This is such a minor thing, I’m hoping there’s a way to keep the priority date (the 1-year deadline has passed) and, hopefully, the filing date.  I’ve called and emailed WIPO and the officer who signed the forms, and haven’t managed to reach anyone.  I’d like to file the response today, if possible.  Thank you!

Best regards,

Katherine
