What information is required in the inventor’s oath or declaration for an international design application?
The inventor’s oath or declaration for an international design application designating the United States must contain specific information. According to 37 CFR 1.1021(d)(3):
The requirements in §§ 1.63(b) and 1.64(b)(4) to identify each inventor by his or her legal name, mailing address, and residence, if an inventor lives at a location which is different from the mailing address, and the requirement in § 1.64(b)(2) to identify the residence and mailing address of the person signing the substitute statement will be considered satisfied by the presentation of such information in the international design application prior to international registration.
In essence, the oath or declaration must include:
- Each inventor’s legal name
- Each inventor’s mailing address
- Each inventor’s residence (if different from the mailing address)
- For substitute statements, the residence and mailing address of the person signing
It’s important to note that this information can be provided in the international design application itself, prior to international registration, to satisfy these requirements.
