Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Certificate of Correction and a Reissue Patent?
A Certificate of Correction corrects minor typographical or clerical errors under 37 CFR 1.323. A Reissue Patent is required for substantive errors that render the patent wholly or partly inoperative or invalid, such as claiming too much or too little scope.
How long does it take to process a Certificate of Correction?
USPTO errors are typically corrected within 2-4 weeks. Applicant-requested corrections requiring fee payment usually take 1-3 months after fee receipt.
Can I use a Certificate of Correction to add a missing inventor?
No. Adding or deleting inventors requires a petition under 37 CFR 1.48, not a Certificate of Correction. However, you can correct spelling of existing inventor names via certificate.
Is there a fee for a Certificate of Correction?
There is no fee if the USPTO made the error. If the applicant made the error, the fee is currently $200 for large entities, $100 for small entities, and $50 for micro entities (verify current fee schedule).
