How can I correct an error in micro entity status?
To correct an error in micro entity status, you need to follow the procedure outlined in 37 CFR 1.29(k). This involves:
- Submitting a separate deficiency payment for each application or patent
- Providing an itemization of the total deficiency payment
- Paying the deficiency owed
The MPEP states: 37 CFR 1.29(k) contains provisions for a micro entity that correspond to the provisions of 37 CFR 1.28(c) for a small entity.
This means the process is similar to correcting small entity status errors.
