How can I obtain a copy of a recorded assignment document from the USPTO?
To obtain a copy of a recorded assignment document from the USPTO, you can request a certified copy. According to MPEP 317:
Certified copies of recorded documents may be ordered from the Assignment Division for a fee.
To request a certified copy:
- Contact the USPTO Assignment Division
- Provide the necessary information to identify the document
- Pay the required fee
The USPTO will then provide you with a certified copy of the requested assignment document. This can be useful for legal or business purposes where an official copy of the recorded assignment is needed.
