What is the process for correcting inventorship in a design reissue application?
Correcting inventorship in a design reissue application follows a specific process. According to MPEP 1457:
“If a request is filed under 37 CFR 1.48(a) to correct inventorship in a design reissue application, the request should be accompanied by a consent to the requested correction signed by each person being added or deleted as an inventor.”
The process involves:
- Filing a request under 37 CFR 1.48(a) to correct inventorship
- Obtaining signed consents from all inventors being added or removed
- Submitting a new oath or declaration from the actual inventor(s)
- Paying any required fees
It’s important to note that the inventorship correction must be properly explained and justified, as it relates to the error being corrected in the reissue application.
