AOTW Problem

Assignments on the Web (AOTW) Technical Problems for Madrid Supporting Documents

The USPTO is currently experiencing technical difficulties with Assignments on the Web (AOTW) relating to assignments recorded for Madrid applications and registrations.  Currently users are unable to view the Madrid documents that support the recorded assignment on AOTW.

However, this same information is viewable in TSDR via the “Documents” tab.  Please look for the document called either “IR – Name Address Change” or “IR – Owner Change” with a date that corresponds with the date the assignment was recorded with the Assignment Recordation Branch.

This problem is being addressed by staff at the USPTO.  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
