<p>Here is what I wrote to one of our clients a few minutes ago ...</p>
<p>Subject line includes "USPTO may have revealed your application
title to a third party"</p>
<p>Body of email includes:</p>
<p>Now the USPTO reveals that it may have revealed the title of your
patent application to some member of the public. See the attached
Notice.
<br>
<br>
Our title is "redacted". Our application is scheduled to be
published on redacted, 2025. I'd guess your reaction to this
would be that the title, taken alone, does not reveal the entirety
of the invention. Of course the revelation of the title might
nonetheless be of interest to third parties who would thereby
learn that the client is innovating in this technical area.
<br>
<br>
As you may see, the USPTO commits to "confirming that the
disclosure was erroneous and inadvertent".
<br>
<br>
I am not able to think of any next step for the client to do about
this, other than waiting for the publication to happen around
sixteen months from now.
