How does changing a patent title affect the application process?

Changing a patent title can have several effects on the application process. As stated in MPEP 606.01, “When the Technology Center (TC) technical support staff prepares the application for issue and sees that the title has been changed, the TC technical support staff will make the required change in the Office computer record systems.” This ensures that the revised title is accurately reflected in all official records and databases, which can impact future searches and classifications of the patent.
