May the Patent Examiner ever make his own amendments to the patent application?

8/29/2017

 
Yes. 37 CFR 1.121(g) permits the Examiner to make amendments to the specification (including the claims) by examiner’s amendments in the interest of expediting prosecution.  Typically, the Examiner will amend a patent applicant's non-compliant amendments in order to make them compliant.
