How can an assignee ensure their information appears on an issued patent?

To ensure assignee information appears on an issued patent, the assignee must comply with 37 CFR 3.81(b). This regulation outlines the specific requirements for including assignee data on a patent.

According to MPEP 307, the assignee should:

• Submit a request for issuance of the application in the name of the assignee
• Provide the appropriate documentary evidence of ownership (e.g., assignment for patent)
• Specify the assignee’s name and address

The MPEP states: A request for a patent to be issued to an assignee submitted pursuant to 37 CFR 3.81(b) must state that the document required by 37 CFR 3.81(b) is being submitted to OPAP in order to request that the patent be issued to an assignee.

It’s crucial to follow these steps accurately to ensure the assignee information is properly recorded and appears on the issued patent.
