`In re Patent No. 7,887,690
`Issue Date: February 15, 2011
`Application No. 11/585,939
`Filed: October 25, 2006
`Attorney Docket No. 2006_1856A
`
`: DECISION ON PETITION
`‘
`
`This is a decision on the petition, filed, May 23, 2011, which is being treated as a request under 37
`CFR 3.81(b)1 to correct the assignee’s name on the front page of the above-identified patent by way
`of a certificate of correction.
`‘
`
`The request is GRANTED.
`
`Petitioner states that the correct assignees names are Panasonic Corporation and Riken, petitioner
`further States that the assignees names were incorrectly indicated on the Fee(s) Transmittal form
`PTOL-85(b) at the time of payment of the issue fee. Accordingly, petitioner requests that a
`certificate of correction be issued to reflect the correct assignee on the front page of the Letters
`Patent.
`
`The request was accompanied by a certificate of correction (and fees) as required by 3.81(b).
`Further, Office assignment records reflect that Panasonic Corporation and Riken were the assignees
`of record before issuance of the patent; Accordingly, as the request complies with the provisions of
`37 CFR 3.81(b), it is appropriate for a certificate of correction to be processed.
`
`Inquiries concerning this decision Should be directed to Alicia Kelley-Collier at (571) 272-6059.
`Any questions concerning the issuance of a certificate of correction Should be directed to the
`Certificates of Correction Branch at (571) 272-4200.
`
`This matter is being referred to the Certificates of Correction Branch for processing of a certificate of
`correction.
