Can I use the original stamped document for recording with additional patents?

Yes, you can use the original stamped document for recording with additional patents. The USPTO allows the use of previously recorded papers that have been stamped with reel and frame numbers by the Assignment Division.

According to MPEP 315: “A copy of the original document (which may consist of the previously recorded papers on which the Assignment Division has stamped the reel and frame numbers at which they are recorded, or a copy of such papers)” can be submitted as part of the recordation process for additional patents or applications.
