How can I correct inventorship in a nonprovisional patent application?

To correct inventorship in a nonprovisional patent application, you need to submit a request under 37 CFR 1.48(a). The request should include:

  • A signed application data sheet (ADS) with the correct inventorship information
  • The processing fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(i)

As stated in the MPEP, The application data sheet submitted with a request under 37 CFR 1.48(a) must identify the information being changed with underlining for insertions and strike-through or brackets for text removed.
