What information cannot be corrected through PAIR?
PAIR should only be used to conform the Office’s electronic records with the patent application file. For example, if the originally-submitted oath or declaration was signed by three inventors, but the filing receipt lists two, a request can be made through PAIR to add the inventor. If the originally filed executed declaration named an inventor who should not have been named as an inventor, or did not include someone who should have been included as an inventor, then applicant must file the appropriate papers under 37 CFR 1.48. Similarly, to change the order of the inventors from that shown on the oath or declaration, a petition under 37 CFR 1.182 is required and PAIR is not the appropriate mechanism.
