For more information regarding any of the following questions or topics, either go to HELP or click on the underlined word. You may use the following Section 7 Request form only to request: Correction of an immaterial error in a registration that was the fault of the USPTO, or which occurred in good faith through the owner of the registration; Amendment "for good cause" of a registration; A new registration certificate if a new owner exists. WARNING: Do not request through this form the correction of a USPTO error that would result in a material change to the registration. See TMEP Section 1609.10(a) for information on correcting a USTPO error that would materially change the registration. 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. NOTE: Because original and certified copies of certificates of registration are not required for Section 7 requests, owners may use this electronic form without separate submissions. Since all original and certified copies are scanned into the USPTO database and then discarded, owners are advised not to submit them. See TMEP Sections 1609.01(b) and 1609.10. Please answer all of the questions below to create a Section 7 Request form showing only sections relevant to you. You must answer each question carefully, since the displayed form will correspond directly to the information provided. WARNING: A session begins once you create and enter the form via the Form Wizard. If you exceed the 60 minute time limit, the form will not validate and you must begin the entire process again; however, you can extend the time limit. You are encouraged to have all information required to complete the form available prior to starting your session. Required fields are indicated with an asterisk (*).

STEP 1: You may only use this form if the USPTO database shows that the mark is registered and the registration is currently "active."

STEP 2: Enter registration number or access saved form:

STEP 3: If preparing a new request form, carefully answer each question below to build the appropriate form.

1. Do you want to amend your mark?
NOTE: While minor changes in the mark are sometimes permitted, any material alteration will NOT be permitted and will result in a refusal being issued on that ground. If submitting a new mark image, it must be in the JPG format (whereas other image attachments may be in either the JPG or PDF format). Yes No

2. Do you want to correct or change any additional statement(s) about the mark that appear(s) on the registration certificate, e.g., a disclaimer, translation, or claim of a prior registration? [Click link to view full range of possible statements available within this section.] NOTE: You may use this form only to correct a mistake(s) in a registration due to an error by the USPTO or the owner of the registration that does not result in a change that would require republication; e.g., a correction to add a statement that published correctly, but was then inadvertently omitted from the registration certificate, or correction of a typographical error in a statement printed on the registration. See TMEP Section 1609.10(a) for information on correcting a USTPO error that would materially change the registration.
Yes No
WARNING: You must specify in the last field of this section (headed "MISCELLANEOUS STATEMENT") the background information and detailed facts surrounding this request, namely, (1) whether the request is for: a correction; an amendment ; or a new certificate due to new ownership; and (2) the exact nature of the requested change, even if data related to that change is entered elsewhere within the form. NOTE: If requesting a correction, within the detailed facts you must either specifically (1) allege Office error; or (2) acknowledge owner error and explain how the error occurred in good faith. The declaration that will appear at the end of this form must be signed if you are requesting an amendment or a correction due to owner error. If requesting a new certificate, you must explain the new ownership (click here for guidance). Because background information and detailed facts are always necessary for proper examination of a Section 7 request, the default setting above is always "Yes," and cannot be changed, even if you do not otherwise want to correct any other additional statement(s).

3. Do you need to correct/change an existing classification number; correct/delete items in the goods and/or services; or correct/modify dates of use?
Yes No

4. Do you need to correct information pertaining to the basis for filing/registration of the mark?
Yes No

5. Do you want to change any information about the owner of the registration?
Yes No
