Once the above information changes, you must apply for trademark change. The Trademark Office already has the business of trademark change.
Article 41 of the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) where a registered trademark needs to change the name, address or other registered items of the registrant, an application for change shall be filed.
What information should be submitted for trademark change?

How long does it take to change the trademark?
Usually, the Notice of Acceptance of Trademark Change will be issued more than one month. It takes longer to change the company name, and the whole process takes more than half a year to several years. The change of address approval is relatively fast, and it will be completed in about 4 months. Specifically, the review speed of the Trademark Office shall prevail.
How much does it cost to change the trademark?
The agency fee for trademark change will vary from agency to agency. Take Bajie as an example, the trademark change fee is 1000/ piece (including official fees). However, it should be noted that trademark change, like trademark registration, is also charged by piece. If there are multiple trademarks, there will be multiple charges.
The legal representative has changed. Do I need to apply for a change?
The only information related to the operator that appears on the trademark registration certificate is the name and application address of the applicant. Therefore, only if the applicant and address change, you need to apply for change.
If the legal representative changes, the shareholders change or the business scope changes, there is no need to change the trademark with the Trademark Office.
