What happens if I forgot to include a drawing figure when filing a patent application?

Unfortunately if you forgot to include a drawing figure when you file a patent application, the only prudent action is to refile the application. Otherwise you run the risk that adding a figure to the application will constitute new matter. Even if you convince the patent office there is support in the specification for the figure, the question will almost certainly be raised during litigation.
