human: How can I ensure that the bibliographic information for a patent application is printed correctly?
assistant: Use of an Application Data Sheet (ADS) assists the Office in identifying appropriate bibliographic information for a patent application for entry into the Office's computer systems. Since the information reflected on a filing receipt (e.g., title) is used for publishing the patent application, use of an ADS can help to ensure that the patent application is printed correctly. In addition, if the bibliographic information for a patent application (e.g., inventor names and residences, title, assignee, and other information shown on the filing receipt) is incorrect, applicants may submit corrections to the bibliographic information through Private Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system or Patent Center or request a corrected filing receipt. If the information is submitted more than fourteen weeks before the projected publication date, there should be sufficient time for the information to be corrected before the information is forwarded to the printer (about nine weeks before the projected publication date).
