Section Summary
MPEP § 606: “Title of Invention” explains the requirements and restrictions governing the title given to a patent application. The title must be technically accurate, descriptive, as short and specific as possible, and may not exceed 500 characters. It should appear on the first page of the specification unless provided in the application data sheet. Certain generic or non-informative words—such as “A,” “An,” “The,” “Improved,” “New,” “Novel,” or phrases like “Design for”—must not begin the title and will be deleted from USPTO records unless they are part of a proper name or meaningful term. If a title is unclear or not representative of the claimed invention, the examiner may require a revised title and suggest a more descriptive alternative. If the applicant does not comply, the examiner may unilaterally amend the title upon allowance to ensure clarity and enhance the utility of the title for indexing, classification, and searching purposes.
