Therefore, the need for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patentclaimmaster.com\/patent-proofreading.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patent proofreading<\/a> does not stop after the patent gets issued.  In the last step, you will still need to verify that many parts of the patent are correctly assembled and published by the USPTO.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The burden to spot any mistakes in the issued patent is on you, not the USPTO.  If you identify an error in the issued patent, you must request the Office to issue a Certificate of correction under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspto.gov\/web\/offices\/pac\/mpep\/s1480.html\">37 CFR 1.322<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspto.gov\/web\/offices\/pac\/mpep\/s1481.html\">1.323<\/a>.   Here are some of the proofreading steps that should be performed on the issued patent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Verify the issued claims against the latest claim set submitted to the USPTO (or entered by the Examiner&#8217;s amendment)<\/li><li>Verify that all cited prior art in the disclosure statements appears on the front page of the issued patent<\/li><li>Confirm inventor and title information<\/li><li>Make sure that the correct drawings appear in the issued patent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the above steps will require manual proofreading, but ClaimMaster could still help you with some of the operations.  For example, you can use ClaimMaster&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patentclaimmaster.com\/help\/Compareclaims.html\">Compare Claims<\/a><\/strong> feature to make sure that the issued claims are the same as the last claim set submitted to the USPTO, as explained below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-for-the-issued-patent-proofreading\">Steps for the Issued Patent Proofreading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\">To check the recently issued claims, perform the following steps:<\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1612320986074\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Open a Word document with the latest Office Action response or proposed amendment<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">From the ClaimMaster Ribbon,\u00a0click on <strong>Compare Claims<\/strong> under the <strong>Time-Saving Tools<\/strong> in the ClaimMaster tab.<br\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"442\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patentclaimmaster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-08_9-53-36.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"issued patent proofreading menu\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patentclaimmaster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-08_9-53-36.png 442w, https:\/\/www.patentclaimmaster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-08_9-53-36-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1612321145091\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Switch to &#8216;Compare to Patents&#8217; tab<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Once the compare dialog comes up, switch to the <strong>Compare to Patent<\/strong> tab and enter the newly issued patent number, as shown below.
