How do I request deletion of a named inventor in a CPA for design applications?
To request deletion of a named inventor in a Continued Prosecution Application (CPA) for design applications, you need to file a proper request with the USPTO. According to MPEP § 201, specifically paragraph 2.32:
In a continued prosecution application (CPA) for a design application (37 CFR 1.53(d)), a request to delete a named inventor from the prior application may be submitted by way of a letter to the examiner or a request for corrected filing receipt. However, it should be noted that this is only available for design applications.
This process is specific to design applications and allows for the correction of inventorship in CPAs.
