After filing the applicant for the grant of patent, a request for examination is required to be made by the applicant or by third party and, thereafter, it is taken up for examination by the Patent Office. The first examination Report is issued to the applicant to give him an opportunity to correct the deficiencies in the application and meet the objections raised in the said report. The applicant must comply with the requirements within the prescribed time otherwise his application would be treated as deemed to have been abandoned.
