What happens if an assignment document is not legible for recording?

If an assignment document is not legible for recording, it will be rejected by the USPTO. According to MPEP 302.01, “Documents submitted for recording must be legible and capable of being reproduced in legible copies by use of photocopy and standard office copying equipment.” If a document is rejected due to legibility issues, the USPTO will notify the person who submitted the document, and they will need to resubmit a legible copy for recording.
