What fees are associated with correcting inventorship in an international design application?

When correcting inventorship in an international design application, certain fees are required. According to MPEP 2920.01, the following fees apply:

1. Processing fee: “A request to correct or change the inventorship under 37 CFR 1.48(a) … must be accompanied by the processing fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(i).”
2. Additional fee for late correction: “A request to correct or change the inventorship under 37 CFR 1.48(a) filed after the Office action on the merits has been given or mailed in the application must also be accompanied by the fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(d).”

It’s important to note that these fees are in addition to any other fees that may be required for the application. Always check the current fee schedule on the USPTO website for the most up-to-date fee amounts.
