Can a patent examiner change the title of my application?
Yes, a patent examiner has the authority to require a change in the title of your application. 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 means that if the examiner finds your title to be insufficiently descriptive or not accurately reflecting the claimed invention, they can request that you provide a new, more appropriate title.
