b.
Any other case where it seems necessary to change the application without making a corresponding change in the certificate should be referred to the Chief or Assistant Chief of the Examining Division for approval.
Example:
A case where attempts to recall the certificate have proved futile.
3.
In some cases the examiner may note a typographical error or discrepancy but decide it is too minor even to annotate. When this happens he should add a small, light pencil check to the appropriate space on the application to show the cataloger that the problem had been noted and that no referral is necessary.
Examples:
a.
Author on copy: Julius Lambert
Author on application: Juluis Lambert
Author on application: Juluis Lambert
b.
Claimant's address omitted from line 1 of application, but included elsewhere; examiner should check line 1 to show that the problem has been resolved.
II.
Specific Practices for Applications other than Form R.
A.
Claimant.
1.
Name of claimant.
a.
A case should be referred where the name of the claimant has been omitted from the application.
b.
A case should be referred where there is real doubt as to whether the identity of the claimant named in the application for a published work is the same as that of the claimant named in the notice, unless the variance has been resolved by annotation.
