Trademark Tip of the Day: Keep Your Information Current with the USPTO

From time to time we are presented with issues created when our clients change addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses and then do not update the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") with these changes.

As a reminder, if you or your company retains registered trademarks with the USPTO it is your responsibility to keep the USPTO advised of any address changes which may occur. If you do not, official correspondence such as challenges to the continued registration of your mark, notice(s) of abandonment, or otherwise, may never reach you.

So remember, to maintain your registrations make sure to keep the USPTO advised of any change in your contact information. This will make sure you receive all notices regarding your marks and could save significant sums if you fail to timely respond to official notices concerning your marks.
