What are the advantages of electronically submitting assignment documents?
Electronically submitting assignment documents offers several advantages:
- Faster recordation: Electronic submissions are processed more quickly than paper submissions.
- Reduced risk of loss: Electronic documents are less likely to be misplaced or lost in transit.
- Immediate confirmation: You receive instant confirmation of your submission.
- 24/7 accessibility: You can submit documents at any time, not just during business hours.
The MPEP 302.10 states: “Assignment documents filed electronically are recorded faster and are less likely to become lost or misplaced.” This underscores the efficiency and reliability of electronic submissions.
