Will an error in the surname on the migration card hinder obtaining a patent?

Question

The surname is written one way in the passport and with an error or a different letter in the migration card. Could this cause problems when obtaining a patent?

Answer

Different variations of the surname can raise questions during document verification. It is better for the data in the migration card, passport, and other documents to match.

If the error is noticeable, it is advisable to contact the MVD department and clarify whether the data needs to be corrected. If a patent has previously been issued with the same discrepancy, that is a good sign, but it does not guarantee that there will be no questions during a new application.
