entering the registration number in TARR, if necessary. To change the owner's address for
more than one application or registration having the identical owner, enter multiple serial

with no punctuation). Click on the "Continue" button below to access the form for entering
your information.

effect transfers of ownership of an application or registration from one party to another. You
must file such recordals with the Assignments Division. For more information on

Correspondence Address form.
