Whether or not the puppy can be registered is strickly up to the litter owner which is also the breeder. If puppy was sold to you per contract as "not AKC registered" then I don't think you can do anything. But registeration papers do not mean anything anyway.....unless you are going the show the puppy in conformation. If you wish to enter other AKC events.....you can get a AKC ILP listing for unregistered pure-bred dogs....many dogs have this number to compete in obedience or agility and any AKC event except conformation.
Here is some information...almost any pure-bred dog can complete in AKC events.

The AKC, ILP and You
Many people have discovered the fun of teaming up with their dogs and competing in AKC Events. But, not all of those wonderful canine athletes that you see at these events are registered with the AKC. Some might be enrolled in the AKC's Indefinite Listing Privilege (ILP), a program that allows unregistered dogs of registrable breeds to compete in AKC Performance and Companion Events, also 18 specific breeds in the FSSŪ Program that are eligible for Companion Events.
If you have a purebred dog that cannot be registered with the AKC and have a desire to see what your dog can do in real competition, an ILP number is your ticket to the world of AKC events and clubs!
Indefinite Listing Privilege Program (ILP): The program that provides purebred dogs a second chance. There are various reasons why a purebred dog might not be eligible for registration. The dog may the product of an unregistered litter, or have unregistered parents. The dog's papers may have been withheld by its breeder or lost by its owner. Sometimes, it is the dog itself that was "lost." There are many dogs enrolled in the ILP program after they have been surrendered or abandoned, then adopted by new owners from animal shelters or purebred rescue groups.
The ILP program allows the dog and owner a second chance at discovering the rewards of participating in AKC events.
