What information is published in the Official Gazette for a pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47 application?

When a pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47 application is found acceptable, certain information is published in the Official Gazette. According to the MPEP: A notice will be published in the Official Gazette identifying the application number, filing date, the title of the invention and the name(s) of the nonsigning inventor(s).

This publication serves several purposes:

• It provides public notice of the application’s existence.
• It identifies the nonsigning inventors, which may be important for legal or intellectual property reasons.
• It establishes a clear record of the application’s status under pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47.
