Sec. 3.28  Requests for recording.

    Each document submitted to the Office for recording must be 
accompanied by at least one cover sheet as specified in Sec. 3.31 
referring either to those patent applications and patents, or to those 
trademark applications and registrations, against which the document is 
to be recorded. If a document to be recorded includes interests in, or 
transactions involving, both patents and trademarks, separate patent and 
trademark cover sheets must be submitted. Only one set of documents and 
cover sheets to be recorded should be filed. If a document to be 
recorded is not accompanied by a completed cover sheet, the document and 
any incomplete cover sheet will be returned pursuant to Sec. 3.51 for 
proper completion of a cover sheet and resubmission of the document and 
a completed cover sheet.
