The process and details for filing an international patent registration are rather extensive. Therefore, after the applicant has completed the process of applying for a patent, if there are any deficiencies, the applicant must comply with the officer's instructions, as follows:

1. If the official considers the application and finds a correctable defect in the application, the official will notify the applicant that an amendment is necessary. The applicant must finish the correction within 90 days from the notification reception date. After 90 days, if there is no correction by the applicant, the applicant will be deemed to have abandoned the application for patent, according to Section 27;
2. After the applicant has amended the application, the applicant shall submit the corrected application and the fee to the Department of Intellectual Property. A request for amendments of application shall enter the consideration and preliminary examination processes respectively, similarly to the re-submission of the application;
3. In the case of application submission via the website or Internet/ e-patent filing system of the Department of Intellectual Property, the inspecting official shall check the completeness of information and details in the patent/ petty patent application, request, or other applications based on information and details appearing in the e-Filing system. The inspection of applications submitted via the Internet shall be in accordance with the Notification of the Department of Intellectual Property, dated March 2018.
