In cases where a scrivener's error is found in a patent, a corrected patent shall be issued upon receipt by the General Land Office of an affidavit of ownership by the landowner, requesting issuance of a corrected patent. The original patent shall be returned for cancellation or the affidavit must state the reason why it cannot be returned. No patent fee is required; however, a patent recording fee shall be paid in the amount set forth in §3.31 of this title.
