How can I correct a typographical error in a recorded assignment document?

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.
