ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION OF CERTIFI­
CATES OF CORRECTION WITH LATER LIST­
ING IN THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE
Beginning in August of 2001, the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) will begin to publish on
the USPTO web site at http://www.uspto.gov/web/
patents/certofcorrect a listing by patent number of lbe
patents for which certificates of correction are being
issued.
The USPTO is now automating lbe publication
process for certificates of correction. This new process
will result in certificates of correction being published
quicker electronically on lbe USPTO's web site
as compared to lbeir paper publication and the listing
of the certificates of correction in the Official Gazette.
Under lbe newly automated process, each issue of cer-
CORRECTION OF PATENTS 1485
tificates of correction will be electronically published
on lbe USPTO web site at http://www.uspto.gov/web/
patents/certofcorrect, and will also subsequently be
listed in lbe Official Gazette (and in lbe Official
Gazette NOtices posted at http://www.uspto.gov/web/
offices/com/sol/og) approximately lbree weeks thereafter.
The listing of certificates of correction in lbe
Official Gazette will include lbe certificate's date of
issuance.
On lbe date on which the listing of certificates of
correction is electronically published on lbe USPTO
web site: (A) lbe certificate of correction will be
entered into lbe file wrapper of the patent and will be
available to lbe public; (B) a printed copy of lbe certificate
ofcorrectionwill be mailed to lbe patentee or
lbe patent's assignee; and (C) an image of lbe printed
certificate of correction will be added to lbe image of
lbe patent on the patent database at http://
www.uspto.gov.patft. Dissemination of all other paper
copies of lbe certificate of correction will occur
shortly thereafter.
The date on which the USPTO makes lbe certificate
of correction available to lbe public (e.g., by adding
the certificate of correction to lbe file wrapper)
will be regarded as lbe date of issuance of lbe certificate
of correction, not the date of lbe certificate of
correction appearing in lbe Official Gazette. Certificates
of correction published in the above-described
manner will provide lbe public with prompt notice
and access and is consistent with the legislative intent
behind lbe American Inventors Protection Act of
1999. See 35 U.S.C. lO(a) (authorizing lbe USPTO to
publish in electronic form).
The listing of certificates of correction can be electronically
accessed on lbe day of issuance at http://
www.uspto.gov/web/patentslcertofcorrect. The electronic
image of the printed certificate of correction
can be accessed on lbe patent database at http://
www.uspto.gov/patft and lbe listing of the certificates
of correction, as published in the Official Gazette
three weeks later, will be electronically accessible at
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/conilsollog.
