What information is included in the filing receipt for an international design application?
When the USPTO receives the publication of an international design application under Article 10(3) of the Hague Agreement, it sends a filing receipt to the applicant. According to the MPEP, this filing receipt includes the following information:
- U.S. application number
- U.S. filing date
- Inventorship
- Applicant information
- Other relevant application data of record
The MPEP states: “The Office will send a filing receipt to the applicant shortly after receipt of the publication under Article 10(3) indicating the U.S. application number, U.S. filing date, inventorship, applicant, and other relevant application data of record.”
This filing receipt serves as an official acknowledgment of the application’s receipt and provides key information for future reference and correspondence with the USPTO.
