How do I correctly add a new inventor to a Continued Prosecution Application (CPA)?

To correctly add a new inventor to a Continued Prosecution Application (CPA), you must follow the procedures outlined in 37 CFR 1.48. The MPEP ¶ 2.33 states:

Any request to add an inventor must be in the form of a request under 37 CFR 1.48.

To add a new inventor:

1. File a request under 37 CFR 1.48 to correct the inventorship.
2. Include a statement from the new inventor agreeing to the addition.
3. Pay any required fees.
4. Provide an oath or declaration from the new inventor.

Failure to follow these steps may result in the inventorship remaining the same as in the prior application.
