What is a “Recordation Cover Sheet” and why is it so important ?
All the searchable information going on the public record is transcribed directly from the cover sheet. The office does not compare
the contents of the cover sheet to the underlying document to determine what data should be entered or to attempt to identify and
resolve discrepancies.

(http://www.uspto.gov/)

Is a cover sheet required ?
Yes. When submitting documents through EFS, ETAS or EPAS the cover sheet data is part of the required forms for processing of
the documents.

Must the USPTO cover sheet forms (PTO-1594 Trademarks or PTO-1595 Patents) be used when submitting recordation
requests in paper ?
No, these forms are not mandatory. However, the USPTO strongly encourages their use. Completing the forms in their entirety
ensures that all the required information for recordation has been sent to the office. The forms are available in PDF-fillable format
on the USPTO Forms page (/forms/index.jsp) , thus making them quick and easy to prepare.
When these forms are received in the USPTO, they are scanned along with the supporting documentation. The bibliographic data
from the cover sheet is then entered into the PTAS system and the documents are processed.

Can I stop an assignment recordation once I have submitted it?
Assignments filed online via EPAS or ETAS are generally recorded within hours of submission.
If the assignment has not yet been recorded, contact the Assignment Recordation Branch by telephone and we may be able to
suspend the recordation. The recordation will be suspended for two days to allow time for submission of a written letter requesting
that the recordation be cancelled and that a refund be issued.
If the assignment has been recorded, it cannot be cancelled. You must petition to expunge the assignment recordation. Please
see Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure Section 503.06(e) and 503.06(f) at

For further information, please contact the Assignment Recordation Branch Customer Service Desk at 571-272-3350 from 8:30
