*It can help to clarify the applicant’s patent rights: If there are any ambiguities in his/her patent, changing or updating it can help to clarify his/her rights and make it easier to enforce them.
*It can help to maintain the value of the applicant’s patent: A well-maintained patent is more likely to be valuable than a patent that is not properly maintained.
