Patent Law FAQ

To correct a typographical error in a patent assignment, you need to submit several documents. According to MPEP 323.01(b), the required documents include:

• A copy of the originally recorded papers
• A cover sheet
• The required fee for each application or patent to be corrected

If the assignor is not available to make the correction, the assignee must also provide:

• An affidavit or declaration identifying the error and requesting correction

The MPEP states:

If an assignor is not available to correct an original document or execute a new one, the assignee may submit an affidavit or declaration in which the assignee identifies the error and requests correction. The affidavit or declaration must be accompanied by a copy of the originally recorded papers, a cover sheet, and the required fee for each application or patent to be corrected (37 CFR 3.41).

Ensure all documents are properly prepared and submitted to avoid delays in processing.

To correct a typographical error in a recorded assignment document, you have two main options:

• Create and record a new document
• Make corrections to the original document and re-record it

According to MPEP 323.01(b):

If there is an error in the recorded assignment document (or other document affecting title) rather than in the cover sheet, the party responsible for an erroneous document (e.g., the assignor) must either create and record a new document or make corrections to the original document and re-record it.

This means that the assignor (the party transferring the rights) is typically responsible for correcting such errors.
