`
`RES QUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION OF THE ISSUED PATENT FOR
`OFFICE MISTAKE 137 C.F.R. § 1.322!
`
`Dear Commissioner:
`
`It is noted that an error appears in the above identified patent due to a mistake on the part
`
`of the Office, as more fully described below. The Patentee believes that correction thereof does
`
`not involve such changes in the patent as would constitute new matter or would require re-
`
`examination of the patent. A certificate of correction is therefore requested.
`
`Attached hereto is Form PTO/SB/44 which is suitable for printing.
`
`Patentee respectfully requests the Letters Patent be corrected as shown below:
`
`Column 237, line 47, Claim 1, the portion “distinct region comprising molecules
`capable of binding to a nucleoside phosphoramidite, and wherein each cluster is
`vertically aligned to a single well of the one or more wells.”
`should read -- distinct region comprising (i) a microwell comprising a single
`fiuidic opening, or (ii) a microchannel comprising two fluidic openings and
`extending through the second plate, and wherein each cluster is vertically aligned
`to a respective well. --
`
`Support for the correction to claim 1 can be found in the Amendment to Claim 1 posted
`
`by the Examiner in the Image File Wrapper on December 7, 2016, and referenced as entered by
`
`the Office on page 2 of the Notice of Allowability mailed December 7, 2016. Correction to
`
`

`

`Serial No.: 15/187,721
`Attorney Docket No.: 44854-701305
`Page 2 / 2
`
`claim 1 is to correct claim to be consistent with Claim 1 as amended in the December 7, 2016
`
`posting.
`
`There is no fee for the submission of this letter. However, the Commissioner is
`
`authorized to charge any fees which may be required or credit any overpayment to Deposit
`
`Account No. 23-2415 (Docket No. 44854-701305).
`
`Respectfully submitted,
