What is the fee for correcting inventorship in a patent application after September 16, 2012?
As of September 16, 2012, there is no fee required for correcting inventorship in a patent application. The MPEP states: Effective September 16, 2012, there is no fee required for requests to correct inventorship submitted under 37 CFR 1.48(a) in a nonprovisional application.
This change was implemented as part of the America Invents Act (AIA) to simplify the process of correcting inventorship. However, it’s important to note that while there’s no fee, the request must still meet other requirements specified in 37 CFR 1.48(a).
