After updating attorney information on the CAR form, what is the final step?

The final step after updating attorney information on the CAR (Changes to Application Record) form is to complete the form and submit it. This is crucial because the information must be officially recorded to ensure that all updates are acknowledged and reflected in the trademark application records. Submitting the updated form activates the changes, making them effective and allowing for proper communication regarding the trademark application moving forward.

While reviewing the application status, saving the information securely, and printing a copy of the updated information are practical steps to take, they do not constitute the completion of the official process. Only by submitting the updated information can the changes take effect in the trademark system maintained by the USPTO. Therefore, completing and submitting the form ensures that the attorney details are officially recognized in the trademark application records.
