If you had a Certificate of Correction in the parent, and want to file preliminary amendment in a reissue application, what do you do type of question
- 1411.01 Certificate of Correction or Disclaimer in Original Patent [R-2]
- The applicant should include any changes, additions, or deletions that were made by a Certificate of Correction to the original patent grant in the reissue application without underlining or bracketing. The examiner should * make certain that all Certificate of Correction changes in the patent have been properly incorporated into the reissue application. Certificate of Correction changes and disclaimer of claim(s) under 37 CFR 1.321(a) should be made without using underlining or brackets. Since these are part of the original patent and were made before the reissue was filed, they should show up in the printed reissue >patent< document as part of the original patent, i.e., not in italics or bracketed. If the changes are extensive and/or applicant has submitted them improperly with underlining and brackets, a clean copy of the specification with the Certificate of Correction changes in it may be requested by the examiner.

I had this question but I don’t remember anything about a preliminary amendment. It was basically you had a CoC that was properly filed after issue and now you want to file a reissue app. The answer I chose had to do with the above section “without using underlining or brackets’.
