Section 7 Request for Amendment or Correction of Registration Certificate
Use this form to submit a request to correct a registration certificate that contains an immaterial error(s), whether caused by the owner or the USPTO. A request to amend a registration may be submitted to request immaterial changes to the mark and/or other information on the registration certificate. A correction or amendment under Section 7 of the Trademark Act only affects information appearing on the certificate of registration. If the information being corrected or amended is not on the certificate, it is not processed as a correction or amendment under this section. NOTE: The correction of a USPTO error that would result in a material change to the registration may not be requested through this form. See TMEP Section 1609.10(a) for information on correcting a USPTO error that would materially change the registration.
WARNING: Section 7 only provides for (1) surrenders of registrations; (2) new certificates due to a change in the owner's name; and (3) amendments and/or corrections of information printed on the certificate of registration. Do not use this form to attempt to make additional information part of the Official record for a registration if no change would result to either the Trademark Database or the certificate of registration (for example, providing information concerning use by a related party or specifying the dates of use for specific goods and/or services within a class.) Such information may be faxed to the Post Registration division at 571-273-9500 for entry into the public record for the registration; however, the Office will neither examine nor act on such submissions.
