What should you submit to correct inventorship besides a request?

To correct inventorship on a patent, it is essential to submit an oath or declaration alongside your request. This document is crucial because it formally states the inventors associated with the invention and affirms that they have contributed to the conception of the invention as claimed. The oath or declaration serves to authenticate the information provided in the request for correction and ensures that the correct inventors are listed in the patent records.

Submitting just a request without the supporting oath or declaration would not provide the necessary legal basis for amending the patent’s inventor information, leaving potential issues of authenticity and acknowledgment of inventorship unresolved. Therefore, the inclusion of this document is indispensable in the process of correcting inventorship to comply with the requirements of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

In contrast, options like submitting a new patent application or a letter of transmittal do not fulfill the specific needs of correcting inventorship. A fee waiver application is unrelated to the process of amending inventor information and therefore does not apply in this context.
