How you amend a trademark application is dictated by whether the application is currently the subject of an opposition proceeding or not. If no opposition is pending against your application, then the amendment is filed electronically using the appropriate form provided by the USPTO.

Change of Owner (Assignment) and Change of Owner Name The original owner should record the assignment or name change with the USPTO's Assignment Recordation Branch by going to Assignment Center and filing a Recordation Cover Sheet along with a copy of the actual assignment or proof of name change.

A named patent applicant is the legal owner of a patent application or granted patent. This may be an individual or, more commonly, a company, university or other legal entity. An applicant is named as part of the patent application process and is the legal holder of the rights to any resulting granted patent.

Patent rules forbid the addition of new matter once an application has been filed, so any modifications to the specification should serve to clarify or possibly delete subject matter. For example, you might be able to edit a paragraph to specify a feature that was shown in the originally filed drawings.

To transfer patent ownership to a company or another entity, each inventor must sign a document called a patent assignment which should then be recorded with the USPTO. First-time patent clients sometimes hesitate to identify inventors, especially when the principals of the company are not the inventors.

The statute is similar to recording statutes used for recording real property. Thus, although there is no requirement to record an assignment, it is foolish not to do so. Note that absent some unusual circumstance, patent assignments do not have to be notarized for use within the United States.
