How can I request a corrected patent with a perfected foreign priority claim?

To request a corrected patent with a perfected foreign priority claim after issuance, you need to follow these steps:

• File a reissue application under 35 U.S.C. 251.
• Include a petition for an expedited examination of the reissue application.
• Pay the required fees for both the reissue application and the petition.
• Submit the necessary documents to perfect the priority claim, such as a certified copy of the foreign application.

As stated in MPEP 216.01: “A reissue application can be filed to correct the failure to adequately claim priority under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d) or (f) in an issued patent.” It’s important to note that this process is only available for perfecting priority claims that were timely filed during the pendency of the application.
