What is the procedure for correcting typographical errors in a recorded cover sheet?

To correct typographical errors in a recorded cover sheet, follow these steps as outlined in MPEP 323.01(a):

1. Submit a copy of the originally recorded assignment document.
2. Provide a corrected cover sheet.
3. Pay the required fee for each application or patent to be corrected.
4. Include a copy of the original cover sheet to facilitate comparison.

When submitting the corrected cover sheet:

• Check the ‘Other’ box in the ‘Nature of Conveyance’ area.
• Indicate that the submission is to correct an error in a previously recorded cover sheet.
• Identify the reel and frame numbers (if known) and the nature of the correction.

The MPEP states: The Office will then compare the corrected cover sheet with the original cover sheet and the originally recorded assignment document (or other document affecting title) to determine whether the correction is typographical in nature.
