Filing
Direct Filing with the Registry.
Rectification involves amending an entry on the Trademark Register (Form TM-M). It is necessary to ensure the public record reflects the current and true status of the owner.
Failure to update the correct address means you may miss crucial legal notices from the Registrar or opposing parties, potentially leading to the removal of your trademark from the Register.
If your registered address is old, any notice sent by the Trademark Registry is considered legally served. If you miss the deadline to respond, the registry can:
Remove the Trademark from the Register.
Issue an ex-parte order in an opposition case.
Filing Form TM-M to update the address of the main office or the address for service.
Filing for legal assignment or transmission due to sale, merger, or inheritance of the business.
Rectifying clerical mistakes in the name of the owner, class description, or date of use.
What is needed for a simple address change (most common):
We file the appropriate rectification form along with the prescribed government fee.
Submission of supporting evidence and notarized affidavits.
The Trademark Registrar reviews the request for genuineness.
Correction is made on the public register and reflected in the online status.
