Is there an official form for requesting correction of inventorship or inventor name?
Yes, the USPTO provides an official form for requesting correction of inventorship or inventor name. The MPEP states:
The Office has a form PTO/AIA/40 to request correction in a patent application (other than a reissue application) relating to inventorship, an inventor name, or order of names.
This form, PTO/AIA/40, can be used for various corrections related to inventorship and inventor names. It’s available on the USPTO website at www.uspto.gov/PatentForms. Using this official form can help ensure that you provide all necessary information for your request and may streamline the process of correcting inventorship or inventor names in your patent application.
