I decided to file a utility patent application myself without an attorney after watching hours of boring youtube videos about the patent and patent process (I don't know how you guys stay awake). I filed a US utility patent using EFS-Web myself online and it was smooth. I got a letter from USPTO after a few weeks saying that I -- accidentally -- omitted the description of a single image under the Description of Drawings
. I was asked to submit the description for it. No issue in that regard but my question is that do I resubmit the whole application with the correction, or a sheet of paper with updated Description of Drawings
section of the application, or just a single paragraph with the description of that single image? Thanks in advance.
