Welcome

1. Welcome Welcome! An assignment request is created by an assignor to initiate the electronic assignment of a registered interest to another party called the assignee. To begin the electronic assignment process, a valid surface disposition activity is selected by the assignor. An assignment request should indicate the assignor/assignee, new service address and email address (if other than the default).The request may or may not require reviewer approval within the company depending on the role(s) assigned to the individual creating the request. This means that the individual may be the Creator, Reviewer and Concurrer at the same time. • To the Create Assignment Request • Online Training Course Click here to view an Assignment Request example.
