What is a ‘corrective document’ for USPTO assignment errors?
A corrective document is a filing used to address errors in recorded assignment documents at the USPTO. According to MPEP 323:
‘The ‘corrective document’ (or if one of the documents is not being re-recorded, a copy of the original) should be recorded as a supporting document, and all documents will be examined.’
Corrective documents are used for:
- Minor typographical errors
- More substantial errors like incorrect names or addresses
When filing a corrective document, it’s important to clearly identify the nature of the correction and reference the original recorded document.
