MPEP 300 - Ownership and Assignment (2)

Title reports play a specific role in patent reexamination procedures. The MPEP mentions:

For example, a title report is requested by the Reexamination Preprocessing Staff when a request for reexamination is filed.

This suggests that title reports are used to verify the current owner of a patent when a reexamination is initiated, ensuring that the proper parties are involved in the process.

When discrepancies are found in title reports, the USPTO takes specific actions to address them. The MPEP 320 states:

If there are discrepancies between the title report and the instrument(s) recorded in the USPTO or the file contents, the title report is returned to the paralegal with an explanation of the discrepancy. The paralegal then contacts the person who ordered the title report and requests correction.

This process ensures that any issues with ownership or chain of title are resolved before the patent application proceeds further.
