Can a patent examiner change the title of an invention?

Yes, a patent examiner can require a change in the title of an invention. According to MPEP 606.01, “Where the title is not descriptive of the invention claimed, the examiner should require the substitution of a new title that is clearly indicative of the invention to which the claims are directed.” This ensures that the title accurately reflects the subject matter of the invention.
