Where should you mail your assignment recordation?

Mailing your assignment recordation to the Assignment Recordation Branch is the correct course of action because this branch is specifically designated for processing assignment documents related to trademarks. The USPTO has established this specialized office to ensure that all trademark assignments are properly documented, recorded, and indexed.

Submitting your assignment directly to the Assignment Recordation Branch allows for streamlined handling and processing of these important documents, ensuring that ownership changes in trademarks are officially recognized and updated in USPTO records.

In contrast, sending the assignment to the USPTO Headquarters would not guarantee that it reaches the appropriate department, as the headquarters functions encompass a broad range of activities unrelated to assignment recordation. Similarly, the Trademark Appeals Board deals with trademark disputes and appeals rather than handling assignment records, and mailing to a local USPTO office would likely result in the assignment not being appropriately processed, as local offices do not perform this function.
