The words or terms that describe the categories of your goods and services that are incorrect or mistaken can be amended. The applicant's or proprietor's name and or address where there is genuine mistake in recording a registered proprietor can be amended. You cannot change or alter the appearance of a trade mark.

If your trademark registration is not the subject of a cancellation proceeding, then you can amend your trademark registration by filing a Section 7 Request for Amendment with the USPTO. The Section 7 is an online form that is available on the USPTO's website.

Unlike patents or copyrights, trademarks do not have fixed expiration dates. Instead, trademarks could last indefinitely as long as they continue to be used in commerce. If the mark is also registered with a government agency, it can be renewed again and again if certain maintenance documents and fees are filed.

A date of first use anywhere is the date when (1) the goods were first sold or transported, or the services were first rendered, under the mark, and (2) such use was bona fide and in the ordinary course of trade.

A Trademark or Service Mark registration is active for five (5) years from the date the mark was filed with the California Secretary of State's office. Within six (6) months of expiration of the five (5) years, the mark may be renewed for another five (5) years.

A trademark registration date is an actual day on which the mark is officially registered with the USPTO. Registration can take many months, so registration may not take place until several months after the priority date. You should file for an application with the trademark office to get a priority date.

The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers federal trademark registrations, and every trademark registration starts with a ten-year term. The trademark owner must renew the trademark registration every ten years to keep it in good standing.

You can trademark a date so long as you use the date as a brand name for your products or services, as trademarks can apply to any distinct words or phrases that are used in branding goods and services from a particular business.

You can also amend your trademark to remove goods and services. However, you cannot add new goods and services to it. Similarly, if you'd like to create a new version of your trademark for a new good or service, you'll have to file a new trademark application. The USPTO allows amendments in very limited circumstances.
