What information must be included in the declaration when an application is executed by someone other than the inventor under pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47(b)?

When an application is executed by someone other than the inventor under pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47(b), the declaration must include specific information about the non-signing inventor. According to the MPEP, the declaration must state:

• The full name of the non-signing inventor
• The residence of the non-signing inventor
• The post office address of the non-signing inventor
• The citizenship of the non-signing inventor

Additionally, “the title or position of the person signing must be stated if signing on behalf of a corporation under pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47(b).” This ensures that the person signing has the authority to do so on behalf of the corporation.
