How do I record a security interest in a patent or patent application?
To record a security interest in a patent or patent application:
- Submit the document to be recorded to the USPTO’s Assignment Recordation Branch.
- Include a cover sheet with the necessary information, as specified in MPEP 313.
- Pay the required fee.
The MPEP states: Documents other than assignments are recorded in the same manner as assignments. The document and cover sheet should be mailed to the Office of Public Records Document Services Division for recording.
