What happens if there’s an error in my application number?

If you notice an error in your application number, it’s crucial to contact the USPTO immediately. The MPEP states, Any error in the identification of the application number will result in processing delays. (MPEP 503) To avoid such delays:

• Double-check the application number on your filing receipt
• If you find an error, contact the Application Assistance Unit at (571) 272-4000
• Provide the correct application number and any supporting documentation

Prompt action can help ensure your application is processed correctly and efficiently.
