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

[Charlene L. Odom]

They are Issued patents, so my plan was to file a 373 with name change and OA.

With kind regards,

Are all of the cases pending applications?  You can't file a corrected ADS in a patented application.

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,
