What is the fee for a Certificate of Correction?
The fee for a Certificate of Correction depends on the type of correction being made. According to MPEP 1481:
- For corrections of applicant’s mistake (other than inventorship): The fee is set forth in 37 CFR 1.20(a).
- For correction of inventorship in a patent: The fee is set forth in 37 CFR 1.20(b).
It’s important to note that these fees are subject to change, so it’s always best to check the current USPTO Fee Schedule for the most up-to-date information.
Remember, the fee must be paid when submitting the request for a Certificate of Correction, as stated in 37 CFR 1.323: “The Office may issue a certificate of correction under the conditions specified in 35 U.S.C. 255 at the request of the patentee or the patentee’s assignee, upon payment of the fee set forth in § 1.20(a).”
