How can I correct an error in a recorded cover sheet?
To correct an error in a recorded cover sheet, you must follow the procedure outlined in 37 CFR 3.34. Specifically:
- The error must be apparent when comparing the cover sheet with the recorded document.
- You must file a corrected cover sheet for recordation.
- Include a copy of the original document submitted for recording.
- Pay the required recording fee as set forth in 37 CFR 3.41.
As stated in the MPEP, Any alleged error in a recorded cover sheet will only be corrected if the error is apparent from a comparison with the recorded assignment document.
It’s important to carefully review the notice of recordation issued by the Office after recording.
