What information is needed to identify a national patent application in an assignment?

To identify a national patent application in an assignment, you must use the application number. MPEP 302.03 states: “An assignment relating to a national patent application must identify the national patent application by the application number (consisting of the series code and the serial number; e.g., 07/123,456).” This format ensures accurate identification of the specific application being assigned.
