Once a trademark is successfully registered, it is valid for ten years. During this decade, the company may have many changes, such as the change of legal person, the change of company name, the change of company address and so on. So among so many company changes, which ones need to be revised just like trademarks?

What is a trademark change? If the name, address or other registered items of a trademark registrant change after the trademark is approved for registration, it shall apply to the Trademark Office for the corresponding change procedures. (Note: A trademark that is currently being applied for but not registered can also apply for trademark change procedures. )

Handling methods of trademark change ① Entrust a nationally recognized trademark agency to handle trademark change.

② The applicant directly goes to the registration hall of the Trademark Office for trademark change (address: the administrative office hall on the second floor of Haidian Branch of Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce, No.9 Daozuomiao, Haidian District, Beijing).

Changes and submission materials ① Change of name/address: When the address and name of the applicant/registrant/enterprise change, an Application Form for Change of Name/Address of Trademark Applicant/Registrant needs to be prepared (the exclusive right to use the trademark has not changed when the applicant/registrant changes its name).

② Trademark category change: When the trademark category needs to be deleted, an application form for deleting goods/services is required.

③ Trademark Agent: If you need to change the trademark agent, you should fill in the Application Form for Change of Trademark Agent.

(4) Error in trademark documents: When errors are found in trademark registration documents/application documents, an application for correction of trademark application/registered items shall be submitted.
