additional page for both patents and trademarks, the pages of the cover sheet would be numbered from 1
to 4.
Item 1. Name of Conveying Party(ies).
Enter the full name of the party(ies) conveying the interest. If there is insufficient space, enter a check mark
in the "Yes" box to indicate that additional information is attached. The name of the additional conveying party(ies)

party(ies).

joint research agreement, enter the name(s) of the patent or patent application owner(s) as the receiving party.
Item 3. Nature of Conveyance/Execution Date(s).
Enter the execution date(s) of the document. It is preferable to use the name of the month, or an abbreviation

Indicate the application number(s), and/or patent number(s) against which the document is to be recorded.
