Brief Notes

Changing trademark attorney

Preface

This brief note is not legal advice and is for educational purposes only.

Brief Discussion

There may come a time when you hire a new attorney or change an attorney to handle your trademarks or applications, or simply want to change the attorney information, like a new address.

The USPTO trademark section has a variety of on-line forms.ย  One such form is called: Change Address or Representation Form.ย  Of course, there must be a 3-letter acronym for this form and itโ€™s: CAR

The CAR (actually Correspondence and Attorney/Domestic Representative Forms) can be found here:

https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/apply/correspondence-and-attorneydomestic-representative

Itโ€™s the first choice:

The CAR link is: https://teas.uspto.gov/ccr/car

As you can see it can be used for a variety of changes.

For withdrawal only, you can go here: https://teas.uspto.gov/woa/

Conclusion

While itโ€™s easy to get lost on the USPTO website, these links should take you to the forms you need.ย  If you get the dreaded: 404 error – page not found

then the USPTO has again messed up the website and your best bet is to go here: https://www.uspto.gov/

and in the upper right search for: โ€œChange Address or Representation Formโ€ without the quote marks.

Good luck ๐Ÿ™‚
