[Patentpractice] Clarification on POA and Statement Under 37 CFR 3.73(c)

[Suzannah K. Sundby]

USPTO will likely make you record the Change of Name (like you do assignments).

Best to do the recordation, and file the 3.73 (with a copy of the Change of Name paperwork you recorded attached), POA, and Corrected ADS at the same time.

Subject: [Patentpractice] Clarification on POA and Statement Under 37 CFR 3.73(c)

We have received files from a client that have been transferred to our firm. In order for us to be recognized as the attorney of record, we understand that a Power of Attorney (POA) must be filed. However, the client has since changed the name associated with these files. Through a name change with the Secretary of State.

The USPTO has indicated that a Statement Under 37 CFR 3.73(c) is required to reflect this change. We would like to confirm whether a corrected Application Data Sheet (ADS) must also be submitted to reflect the updated applicant name, or if the 3.73(c) statement and POA—submitted under the current name—will be sufficient for recognition as attorney of record.

With kind regards,
