`
`(} With respect to the alleged error in claim 1, comparison of the printed patent with the corresponding location in the
`application file reveals that there is no discrepancy.
`
` C) With respect to 37 CFR 1.72, the title should be brief but technically accurate and descriptive and should contain
`
`fewer than 500 characters. Inasmuch as the words "new," "improved," "improvement of," and "improvementin" are
`not considered as part ofthe title of an invention, these words should not be included at the beginning ofthe title of
`the invention and will be deleted when the Office enters the title into the Offices computer records, and when any
`patent issues.
`
`C) The fee for correction under 37 CFR 1.323is set forth in 37 CFR 1.20(a). 1 Partial fee LINo fee was received with
`your request. Full fee payment is required before further action is taken on this request.
`
`C) With respect to the request for corrected Letters Patent (Grant), corrections to the original Letters Patent are made
