Our company provides services for amending a trademark on a turnkey basis
The owner receives exclusive rights to a trademark after its registration with Rospatent. Legal protection of intellectual property rights is granted to the owner specified in the documents and to a certain extent. However, situations arise that require changes to the register or registration certificate.
Changes to the trademark are necessary when changing the owner's personal data, reducing the list of goods for which the mark is registered, changing the charter of a collective mark or converting it into a collective mark.
To make changes to the executive branch (FIPS), which are responsible for the registration of intellectual property, a notification with a package of documents is submitted.
What changes are made to the trademark?
Often it is required to amend the information about the copyright holder or the address of the correspondence. This implies the addition of new information or partial deletion of outdated information.

- name, name of the legal entity;
- legal addresses of the holder of rights and representative;
- reduction of the list of products;
- removal from the mark of elements that are not protected by the validity of the certificate on trademark;
- changing the graphics of the sign, in which the sign remains recognizable.
Prohibited Trademark Changes

How to make changes to the trademark yourself
To make changes to a trademark, you must:
- submit a petition to Rospatent with a list of changes;
- pay a state fee.
The application must include:
- Trademark number;
- details of the changes;
- extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or IE certified by the owner of the trademark;

You must submit an application immediately after the changes are made. Untimely introduction of changes will entail the termination of the trademark certificate, since the owner of the mark will be a person whose activity has already been legally terminated.
