Patent Law FAQ

A cover sheet is a crucial component in the patent document recording process. It provides essential information about the document being recorded and the patents or applications it relates to.
The requirement for a cover sheet is specified in 37 CFR 3.31, which states the necessary contents of a cover sheet. As mentioned in MPEP 315, a completed cover sheet is one of the required items when recording a document with additional patents or applications: “a completed cover sheet (see 37 CFR 3.31 and MPEP § 302.07)”
For more detailed information on cover sheets, refer to MPEP § 302.07.
