<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>I am preparing the paperwork to enter the national phase in the U.S. from a PCT application.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When the PCT application was filed, the name of the company was "Oldname." The inventors executed an assignment to Oldname. After the PCT application was filed, the company changed its name to "Newname." It's the same entity, just with a different name.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As Oldname doesn't exist anymore, I want to name Newname as the applicant in the ADS that will accompany the national-phase filing in the U.S. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Will there be any USPTO snafus because the applicant of the PCT application does not match the applicant named in the U.S. national-phase entry papers? I couldn't find anything in the MPEP that addresses this situation, so I wanted to check with the brain
trust. I'm hoping someone has had this situation before, or perhaps a situation in which the PCT application was assigned to a different entity prior to national-phase entry, and you named the new owner as the applicant.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems like this shouldn't be an issue, but the USPTO seems to have endless ways to surprise me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
