When do I need to file a trademark change of name or address?

You must update your trademark records whenever the registered owner's legal name changes (e.g., due to company rebranding, merger, or acquisition) or when the official address on record changes. Keeping records current avoids missed office actions and potential trademark cancellation.

What is the difference between a change of name and a trademark assignment?

A change of name updates the same owner's identifying information — the trademark remains with the same legal entity. An assignment transfers ownership to a different legal entity entirely. A name change after a corporate restructuring typically requires a change of name recordal, not an assignment.

Which jurisdictions does Kangxin cover for trademark name/address changes?

Kangxin covers 100+ jurisdictions including China (CNIPA), the United States (USPTO), European Union (EUIPO), WIPO international marks (Madrid System), Japan (JPO), Korea (KIPO), UK (UKIPO), and all major markets worldwide.

Can I update multiple trademarks at once?

Yes. The Kangxin IP Platform automatically identifies all trademarks under the same registered owner that require simultaneous changes. Batch processing is available and can significantly reduce both time and professional fees.

What documents are required for a trademark name change?

Typical requirements include evidence of the name change (e.g., certificate of incorporation, government gazette notice, or merger documents), a signed power of attorney, and the existing trademark registration certificate. Specific requirements vary by jurisdiction — Kangxin's attorneys will advise you on the exact requirements for each territory.
