What type of assignment may require corrective paperwork if recorded without authorization?

A wrongfully recorded assignment refers to an assignment that has been recorded by a party who did not have the proper authority or authorization to do so. This type of assignment can create confusion regarding the rights to the trademark because it may falsely convey ownership or rights that do not accurately represent the party's authority. When such an assignment is recorded, it can necessitate the filing of corrective paperwork to clarify the situation, remedy any potential issues related to the assignment, and ensure that the official records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) accurately reflect the true ownership and rights associated with the trademark.

In contrast, voluntary assignments are typically executed with proper authorization and don’t require corrective action. Conditional assignments also involve stipulations set forth at the time of the assignment but are generally authorized. License assignments involve the granting of permission to use the trademark under specific terms but typically do not carry the same implications for issues of ownership or unauthorized recording.
