Changes in the Requirements for Amendment and Correction of Trademark Registrations
The United States Patent and Trademark Office ("Office") proposes to amend its rules to eliminate the requirement that a request for amendment or correction of a registration be accompanied by the original certificate of registration or a certified copy thereof, and the requirement that an application to surrender a registration for cancellation be accompanied by the original certificate or a certified copy; and add a requirement that a request for correction of a mistake in a registration be filed within one year of the date of registration.
