719.02 Data Entered on File Wrapper [R-2] - 700 Examination of Applications
719.02 Data Entered on File Wrapper [R-2]
It is sometimes necessary to make corrections to the data on the file wrapper label or, for 09/series applications, the PALM bib-data sheet placed in the file wrapper.
If the examiner notices an error in any of the data originally entered on the file wrapper or on the PALM bib-data sheet, he or she should:
- for 08/ or earlier series applications: make the correction in red ink on the file wrapper and forward the application to the TC technical support staff for correction of the PALM database;
- for 09/series applications: make the correction in red ink on the PALM bib-data sheet and forward the application to the TC technical support staff for correction of the PALM database and printing of a new PALM bib-data sheet for placement in the file wrapper;
- for 10/ and above series applications: make the correction in red ink on the file wrapper and forward the application to the TC technical support staff for correction of the PALM database and printing of a new adhesive file wrapper label to be placed on the file wrapper.
Instances where correction is necessary include:
(A) Correction of inventorship such as changes in the order of the names or a change in the name of an inventor, granted by petition, and additions or deletions of inventors under 37 CFR 1.48. See MPEP § 605.04(g).
(B) Correction of the filing date.
(C) Correction concerning prior U.S. applications which have application number errors. See MPEP § 202.02.
(D) Correction of a claim for benefit under 35 U.S.C. 120, 121, or 365(c). See MPEP § 201.11 and § 1302.09.
If an error is noticed in the name or address of the assignee, it should be corrected by the Assignment Division.
