What if I want to change my trademark? Is it possible to change the trademark by yourself?

Alteration of a registered trademark refers to the procedure in which an application for change is submitted to the State Trademark Office when there is a change in the items on the trademark registration certificate, and after approval by the State Trademark Office, the corresponding certificate is issued to the trademark registrant and the corresponding certificate is announced.

Article 24 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Trademark Law stipulates that if the name or address of the trademark registrant is changed, the trademark registrant shall change all the registered trademarks at the same time, and if the change is not made at the same time, it shall be deemed to have abandoned the application for change. In practice, the change of registered trademark is mainly the change of the name and address of the registrant.

If a company has registered 5 trademarks, then when the company's name or address changes, it should apply to the State Trademark Office for change of the 5 trademarks at the same time. Similarly, if the change of the registered name, address and other matters are not changed in a timely manner, it may cause losses to the enterprise, such as after the relocation of the business location of an enterprise in Chengdu, its trademark has not gone through the procedures for changing the address of the registrant to the State Trademark Office, and the notice sent by the State Trademark Office to others to cancel a registered trademark of the enterprise has not been received, and it has not replied within the specified time, resulting in the loss of the trademark rights of the enterprise in a certain category. Therefore, after the occurrence of the change of the above-mentioned matters, the trademark registrant should go through the change procedures in a timely manner in accordance with the law to protect its legitimate rights and interests.

Therefore, when the name or address of the registrant of a registered trademark changes, it shall be handled in a timely manner in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 of the Trademark Law: "If a registered trademark needs to change the name, address or other registration matters of the registrant, an application for change shall be filed", which is also a legal obligation for the trademark registrant. The procedures for changing the name and address of the registrant can be handled directly at the Beijing State Trademark Office, or it can be handled by entrusting a local trademark office (company).
