Change of Name &/or Address

In IP law and practice, a registration is necessarily accompanied by the full name and address of the owner. Without the name and address, such registration is null and void ab initio. Indeed a proper trade mark officer would not even accept the application. This means the name and address of the owner is an integral part of the IP. So any change of name and/or address of the owner must be followed by a recordal in the special register if the IP must continue to have effect in OAPI.

The details we shall require to prepare and file your applications for change of name and/or address would include:

1. Name of the IP right;
2. Place of filing;
3. Date of filing;
4. Filing number;
5. Registration number in OAPI;
6. Former name and/or new name;
7. Former address and/or new address;
8. Power of Attorney (notarization not required).
