How do I update an inventor’s residence for applications filed on or after September 16, 2012?
For patent applications filed on or after September 16, 2012, the process to update an inventor’s residence is specific. MPEP 719.02 states:
For patent applications filed on or after September 16, 2012, in order for a patent to issue with the new residence, applicants must file a corrected Application Data Sheet ( 37 CFR 1.76(c) ) showing the new residence information with underlining for insertions and strike-through or brackets for text removed.
This means you need to submit a corrected Application Data Sheet (ADS) with the changes clearly marked using underlining and strike-through or brackets. For more details on this process, refer to MPEP § 601.05(a).
