Is it possible to file a name change on paper?

Filing a name change for a trademark is indeed possible on paper, but utilizing the Assignment Center is the recommended approach. This recommendation arises from the Assignment Center's streamlined process for managing and recording name changes associated with trademarks. When changes occur, especially when the owner of the trademark has undergone a legal name change, it is efficient to handle these changes directly through this designated platform, which specializes in such filings.

This method allows for a structured way to update the records with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted correctly. While name changes can be filed in other manners, processing through the Assignment Center simplifies the procedure and reduces the likelihood of errors.

Options suggesting that online submissions are the only method or that a lawyer must be involved are inaccurate, as there are provisions for filing on paper without legal assistance. Additionally, while it is true that there may be additional fees associated with trademark filings, the essence of the correct answer centers around the recommendation of using the Assignment Center, rather than simply addressing fees incurred.
