Where should the title of invention be placed in a patent application?

According to MPEP 606, the placement of the title of invention in a patent application is as follows:

“The title of the invention should be placed at the top of the first page of the specification unless it is provided in the application data sheet (see 37 CFR 1.76).”

This means you have two options for placing the title:

• At the top of the first page of the specification
• In the application data sheet

It’s important to note that if you include the title in the application data sheet, you don’t need to repeat it on the first page of the specification.
