added 2/11/05) After payment of the Issue Fee and submission of the PTOL-85B, can I subsequently add an assignee’s name so it appears correctly on the front page of the Letters Patent?
A7. No. The Letters Patent will not include the assignment information if it was not included on the PTOL-85B. Where assignment information is submitted after payment of the issue fee, the patent document will not include the assignment information, but the assignment information will be included in a Certificate of Correction if a Certificate of Correction is requested. Thus, if applicant wishes the Letters Patent to issue with the correct assignee information, it is very important that applicant take care that the PTOL-85B contain the correct information.
