Can an application for amendment be filed after the Final Rejection?
Yes. After final rejection or action, amendments may be made by canceling claims or complying with any requirement of form which has been made in an Office action. However, no amendment can be made as a matter of right in appealed cases. After decision on appeal, amendments can only be made as provided in the rules.
