What is the Change Address or Representation form used for?

The Change Address or Representation form is specifically designed to request a change of address information in an existing application or registration. This is important for ensuring that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has the most current contact information for the applicant or their legal representative. Keeping address information up to date is critical for receiving important correspondence regarding trademark applications and registrations.

Using this form streamlines the process for making necessary updates without having to go through the more complex procedures associated with filing new applications, submitting oppositions, or amending trademark drawings. Each of those actions has its own specific forms and processes that are not interchangeable with the purpose of this particular form.
