A quick definition of certificate of correction:

A certificate of correction is a document that fixes a mistake in an important paper, like a certificate of incorporation or a patent. It can only fix small errors like typos or missing names of inventors. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issues this certificate after the mistake has been corrected.

A more thorough explanation:

A certificate of correction is a document that is used to correct an error in an official document. For example, if there is a mistake in a certificate of incorporation, a certificate of correction can be used to fix it.

In the case of patents, a certificate of correction is issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office when a patentee or assignee rectifies a minor error that is unrelated to questions of ownership or defects in a patent application's specifications or drawings.

There are three types of errors that a certificate of correction can correct:

  1. Mistakes made by the PTO
  2. Minor clerical or typographical errors
  3. The omission or misidentification of an inventor's name

For example, if the PTO accidentally misspells the name of an inventor on a patent, a certificate of correction can be used to fix the mistake.

Trying to get in UC Law School after undergrad
@UnevenInstinctiveSeal: Don't give up yet, they are still doing interviews (I have mine tomorrow)
Thanks! But considering my interview was over 3 months ago and I applied 5 months ago, it's hard to be hopeful. I'm expecting a WL/R I just don't know why I keep missing those waves.

Hey bobcat, take a deep breath. There isn't any reason to stress yourself out if you have three more years of school left. Try your best to get good grades, study hard for the LSAT and that is 90% of the game. during your next few years get close with a couple professors who can write you a LOR and if possible, do some sort of publishing whether that be a senior thesis or for some research. But there is no reason to stress so much right now.

trying to do your best or even a little less than your best is the way to go. sometimes you will work really hard and exhaust yourself trying to get a good result. 3 years is a long while!
