What is required for correcting inventorship in a provisional application?

To correct inventorship in a provisional application, you must follow the procedure outlined in 37 CFR 1.48(d). The requirements include:

• A request signed by a party set forth in 37 CFR 1.33(b) to correct the inventorship, identifying each inventor by their legal name
• The processing fee set forth in 37 CFR 1.17(q)

The MPEP advises, When an inventor is being added, applicants should also file a corrected application data sheet or a new cover sheet providing the residence of all inventors.
