How can I record a document for additional patents or applications if it’s already been recorded?

If you want to record a document for additional patents or applications that has already been recorded in the Assignment Division, you must submit a new recordation request. MPEP 315 outlines the required components:

1. A copy of the original document (which may be the previously recorded papers with the reel and frame numbers stamped by the Assignment Division, or a copy of such papers)
2. A completed cover sheet (as per 37 CFR 3.31 and MPEP § 302.07)
3. The appropriate recording fee (as specified in 37 CFR 1.21(h) and 3.41)

Upon receiving these items, the USPTO will assign a new recording date to that submission, update the assignment database, and include the cover sheet and document as part of the official record.
