Can an assignment be recorded electronically with the USPTO?

Yes, assignments can be recorded electronically with the USPTO. The MPEP 302 states:

“The USPTO provides for the electronic filing of patent assignment documents through the Electronic Patent Assignment System (EPAS).”

Electronic filing offers several advantages:

• Faster processing times
• Immediate confirmation of receipt
• Reduced risk of errors in data entry
• 24/7 accessibility

To use EPAS, users must have a USPTO.gov account and follow the specific guidelines for electronic submission. For detailed instructions, visit the Electronic Patent Assignment System (EPAS) on the USPTO website.
