<p class="elementToProof">I did a search "SN:79* AND
RD:[2025-09-07 TO 2025-09-28]" and the first four hits all
lacked the "owner of international registration" text. I
stopped clicking after seeing it four times in a row. I
imagine a curious person with more energy than me could tinker
with that search and maybe work out when the USPTO mistake
started.</p>
<p>I suppose one thing to investigate is whether the presence
of "owner of international registration" text is actually
required by law or rule or TMEP. If it is not actually
required, then I guess this may be simply a cost-cutting
measure.</p>
<p>Years ago when the USPTO began publishing patent applications,
the pub would list the firm name on the front page. Then I
guess some beancounter noticed that the law did not require this
info to be there. And the USPTO stopped providing that
information. It could be a similar thing here maybe. </p>
