Section 7 Request
TEAS - Version 4.1: 01/26/2008
For more information regarding any of the following questions or topics, either go to HELP or click on the underlined word. You may use the following Section 7
Request form only to request:
• Correction of an immaterial error in a registration that was the fault of the USPTO, or which occurred in good faith through the owner of the registration;
or
• Amendment “for good cause” of a registration.
A correction or amendment under Section 7 of the Trademark Act only effects information appearing on the certificate of registration. If the information being
corrected or amended is not on the certificate, it is not processed as a correction or amendment under this section, and this form should not be used.
WARNING: The correction of a USPTO error that would result in a material change to the registration is not permissible under Section 7. See TMEP Section
1609.10(a) [link to http://tess2.uspto.gov/tmdb/tmep/1600.htm#_T160910a] for information on correcting a USTPO error that would materially change the
registration.
WARNING: Registered extension of protection issued under the Madrid Protocol may not be amended under Section 7 of the Trademark Act unless the request
has been recorded with the International Bureau. Moreover, only minor and obvious corrections to registered extensions of protection that are apparent from
Office records are permissible.
Please answer all of the questions below to create a Section 7 Request form showing only sections relevant to you. You must answer each question carefully,
since the displayed form will correspond directly to the information provided.
WARNING: This form has a session time limit of 60 minutes. A session begins once you create and enter the form via the Form Wizard. If you exceed
the 60 minute time limit, the form will not validate and you must begin the entire process again; however, you can extend the time limit. You are
encouraged to have all information required to complete the form available prior to starting your session.
link to the following:
Extend the time limit: The 60-minute period is not an “absolute” period; i.e., you do not have to complete the form, start to finish, within 60 minutes. If the
USPTO’s server does not detect any activity at all within 60 minutes, it will end your session at the 60-minute point. HOWEVER, at 54 minutes into your session,
you will receive a pop-up window warning you that your session will expire in six minutes (it will actually provide the precise “end” time within the window, such as
11:29:14 EST). To “renew” your session, you simply need to click on the “O.K.” button at the bottom of the pop-up window, and you will automatically get another
60 minute time period. If you do not click on the button within the remaining six minutes of the session, your session will completely end at the 60-minute mark,
and you will be returned directly to the initial form wizard to start the process again.

Privacy Policy Statement
The information collected on this form allows the USPTO to determine whether a mark may be registered on the Principal or Supplemental Register, and provides notice of an applicant’s claim of ownership of the
mark. Responses to the request for information are required to obtain the benefit of a registration on the Principal register. 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et. seq.. and 37 CFR Part 2. All information collected will be made
public. Gathering and providing the information will require an estimated 20 minutes (depending if the request is based on an intent to use the mark in commerce, use of the mark in commerce, or a foreign
application or registration). Please direct comments on the time needed to complete this form, and/or suggestions for reducing this burden to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S.
Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450. Please note that the USPTO may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information using a form that does not display a valid OMB control
number.

Section 7 Request
TEAS - Version 4.1: 01/26/2008

A correction or amendment under Section 7 of the Trademark Act only effects information appearing on the certificate of registration. If the
information being corrected or amended is not on the certificate, it is not processed as a correction or amendment under this section.
A request to correct a registration may be submitted to correct immaterial errors on the certificate, whether caused by the owner or the USPTO. A
request to amend a registration may be submitted to request immaterial changes to the mark and/or other information on the registration certificate.
NOTE: The correction of a USPTO error that would result in a material change to the registration is not permissible under Section 7. See TMEP
Section 1609.10(a) [link to http://tess2.uspto.gov/tmdb/tmep/1600.htm#_T160910a] for information on correcting a USTPO error that would
materially change the registration.
To satisfy legal requirements, the declaration at the end of the Section 7 request form must be signed by the owner of the registration or someone
who is properly authorized to sign on the owner’s behalf.
WARNING: Registered extension of protection issued under the Madrid Protocol may not be amended under Section 7 of the Trademark Act
unless the request has been recorded with the International Bureau. Moreover, only minor and obvious corrections to registered extensions of
protection that are apparent from Office records are permissible.
Important: ONCE A SECTION 7 REQUEST IS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY, THE OFFICE WILL IMMEDIATELY PROVIDE THE
SENDER WITH AN ELECTRONIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT. Please contact [email protected] within 24 hours of transmission (or
by the next business day) if you do not receive this acknowledgment.

resolving technical glitches, please e-mail [email protected]. Please include your telephone number in your e-mail, so we can talk to you directly, if
necessary. For status information on an application that has an assigned serial number, use http://tarr.uspto.gov.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to check status until at least 72 hours after submission of a filing, to allow sufficient time for our databases to be updated.

To file the Section 7 Request form electronically, please complete the following steps:
1. Fill out all relevant fields. Any field designated with a * symbol must be completed, as it signifies a mandatory field.
2. Validate the form, using the "button" at the end of the form.
3. If the desired signatory is not available to sign the application, to forward the form to the signatory, use either the Text Form option or the

Download Portable Data option. Both options are available from the Validation Page. However, to use the Text Form option, you must first
answer YES to Form Wizard Question #6. When you receive the form back, return to step 2.
4. At the point of final validation, it is critical to confirm that all information is displayed properly immediately before filing, regardless of
the appearance of the data at any point earlier in the process. If any previously-entered image files are now missing, you must re-attach
before final submission. Otherwise, the USPTO will not receive a complete form.

PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENT: Do not include any of the # symbols within this form, because the declaration must always appear/be
signed at the end of the form.
PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENT: For the MARK section immediately below (the result of an answer of YES and then NO within the
question “Do you want to modify your mark?”), the form must function in the same manner as TEAS Plus/BAS, i.e., to accept the
COMPLETE standard character set.
MARK
NOTE: While minor changes in the mark are sometimes permitted, any material alteration will NOT be permitted and will result in the
denial of the request on that ground.
If you have read and understood the above notice, you must check the box before you enter the proposed new mark.

Standard Characters

Use this section if you wish to modify a word(s), letter(s), and/or number(s) with no design element and without claim to any
particular font style, size or color.

Add/Modify the Standard Characters mark here: (Note: The entry can be in capital letters, lower case letters, or a combination
thereof.)
MY MARK

Specimen File
The owner of the registration must submit one (1) specimen showing use of the proposed mark, as amended, on or in connection with the
goods/services. A specimen is required even if the mark originally registered under Section 44(e), based on a foreign registration. The following
statement must be made of record by checking the box:
[ ] The attached specimen was in use in commerce as early as the filing date of this request. The declaration under 37 C.F.R. § 2.20 at the end of this
request supporting this use will be signed by the owner or a person properly authorized to sign on behalf of the owner.
[Programming requirement: If not checked, then ERROR: You must check the box to confirm that the attached specimen was in use in commerce as
early as the filing date of this request].
Click on the 'Browse' button to select JPG/PDF file that contains the specimen from your local drive.
WARNING: Submission of an overall request as a PDF file is NOT permissible; i.e., do not use this section, or any other section, of the form to attach
a multi-page document consisting of arguments, evidence, revised identifications of goods/services, additional statements, etc. Any portion of the ROA
form that exists for a specific purpose must be used for that purpose, rather than trying to "shoehorn" a complete ROA within one PDF file. For
complete requirements concerning PDF files, click here.
WARNING: The file size cannot exceed 3 megabytes per attachment.

[Expand size of box]
PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENT: For the MARK section immediately below (the result of an answer of YES and YES within the question
“Do you want to modify your mark?”), the display is to be consistent with the MARK section within TEAS Plus/BAS [which is what is now
shown here].
MARK
NOTE: While minor changes in the mark are sometimes permitted, any material alteration will NOT be permitted and will result in the
denial of the request on that ground.

If you have read and understood the above notice, you must check the box before you enter the proposed new mark.
Click on the "Browse/Choose File" button to select a properly-sized JPG image file (the only accepted format) from your local drive. This image
should show the mark exactly as you would wish the mark to appear on your registration certificate, if the mark registers. If you are claiming color, you
must submit a color image; otherwise, the image must be clear black-and-white. After the file name appears in the window, click on the "Attach"
button to upload the file into the application. A "thumbnail" version of the image will then display directly within the form.
NOTE: The image files for, respectively, the mark and the specimen (if filing under Section 1(a), use in commerce, and showing actual use in commerce of the mark at the time of this
filing) should NOT be the same files (or, even if different files, should not display essentially the exact same thing). The mark image file should ONLY show the mark by itself, and not a
representation of how the mark is used on the overall packaging for the goods or within an advertisement for services, for example. On the other hand, an image file that shows the
complete package for the goods or a full advertisement for the services, with the mark clearly displayed thereon or within, would be an appropriate attachment for a specimen in the later
"basis" section of the form (which only appears where a Section 1(a) filing basis is being claimed).
NOTE: The attached image should ONLY show the mark by itself, and should NOT be a representation of how the mark is or may be used, e.g., on the overall packaging for the goods or
within an advertisement for services. Except in rare circumstances, the attached image should not be the same as the specimen image file (when filing under basis Section 1(a), use in
commerce).

For any image that also includes a word(s), letter(s), and/or number(s), enter the LITERAL ELEMENT only of the mark here:
NOTE: Do NOT enter any word(s), letter(s), or number(s) that do not appear in the attached image; the image file must reflect the overall mark, consisting of the design and the word(s),
letter(s), and or number(s).

* If claiming color as a feature of the mark, list the colors below, including black and/or white if actual "colors" within the mark (e.g., enter red, white,
and blue). Do NOT include as part of the entry either the words "The color(s)" or a final period, because that introductory wording and the punctuation
will automatically be added after validation; otherwise, the overall entry will have improper repetitions. Also, begin the entry with a lower-case, NOT
an upper-case, letter. (Required for color marks only.)

[Expand size of box]
Check this box if you are NOT claiming color as a feature of the mark. NOTE: Check only if you believe your image is black-and-white, yet you
received after clicking the "CONTINUE" button a WARNING about color within the mark (perhaps because the image consists of too much
grayscale); otherwise, do not check this box, because the attached image was automatically accepted as black-and-white.
* Enter description of mark below, and if a color mark, also include the nature and location of the color; i.e., you should specifically state where each
color is located within the mark.
The mark consists of:

[Expand size of box]

NOTE: A description of the mark is required for ALL marks that are in a special form (i.e., for any mark not in standard characters). You must enter a description even if what the mark
represents is immediately clear, e.g., "The letter C." Also, for any color mark, the description of the mark must include the nature and location of the color; i.e., you must specifically state

where each color is located within the mark, e.g., "A bird with a red body, blue wings, and yellow beak."
NOTE: Do NOT include as part of the description either the words "The mark consists of" or a final period, because that introductory wording and the punctuation will automatically be
added after validation; otherwise, the overall description will have improper repetitions. Also, begin the entry with a lower-case, NOT an upper-case, letter.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT(S)
The correction of a mistake in a registration due to USPTO error or owner error is permissible only if the correction does not result in a change that
would require republication. For example, the following may be permitted: a correction to add a statement that appeared as part of the mark when
published but inadvertently omitted from the registration certificate, or a correction to a typographical error in a statement printed on the registration
certificate. An amendment to add any statement that did not appear when the mark published is permissible only if the amendment would not
materially alter the mark or significant information related to the mark. If republication would be required, the amendment is a material alteration.
To select a statement, enter any required information specific to your mark (or, if no information must be entered, check the box in front of the
existing statement to select it). If you make an entry, but then determine it was not correct and no additional statement should appear, you must return
to the original form wizard and answer NO to the question about an additional statement. Otherwise, if one additional statement exists, but a second

entry was made in error, simply remove the entry from the statement that you do not wish to use.
Note: Although a declaration will automatically appear at the end of this form, it must be signed only if the Additional Statement selected is
either Section 2(f) based on use, or Section 2(f), in part, based on use (or if required by another section of this form).
PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENT: the display must be changed to be consistent with the ADDITIONAL STATEMENT(S) section within
TEAS Plus/BAS [which is NOT the approach shown below].Also, note that the checkbox for the Supplemental Register is NOT to appear
here.
DISCLAIMER: "No claim is made to the exclusive right to use

apart from the mark as shown."

STIPPLING AS A FEATURE OF THE MARK: "The stippling is a feature of the mark."
STIPPLING FOR SHADING: "The stippling is for shading purposes only."
PRIOR REGISTRATION(S): "Applicant claims ownership of U.S. Registration Number(s)

and others."

NOTE: Entry must not include any commas, and must be 7 numerals long (if necessary, add leading 0's to number, e.g., 0086417).

CLASSIFICATION AND LISTING OF GOODS/SERVICES
NOTE: Changes may be made to the listing of goods/services to restrict the identification, correct obvious typographical errors, or otherwise
change the registration in a way that would not require republication of the mark. However, no goods or services may be added to a
registration by amendment or correction. Any request to amend or correct the classification must coincide with the current version of the
Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks. See TMEP
Section 1609.10(a) [link to http://tess2.uspto.gov/tmdb/tmep/1600.htm#_T160910a] for information on correcting a USTPO error that would
materially change the registration.

and/or services, see the USPTO's on-line Goods and/or Services Manual.

DATES OF USE
NOTE: Amendment or correction may be made to the dates of use. However, the USPTO will not accept any amendment or
correction wherein the amended dates of use are later than the dates that would have been accepted when the underlying application
was examined prior to registration. See TMEP Section 1609.07 [link to http://tess2.uspto.gov/tmdb/tmep/1600.htm#_T160907].

BASIS FOR FILING/REGISTRATION
NOTE: If the mark published with the correct basis, but the information did not appear on the registration certificate, the omitted
basis(es) may be added under Section 7. In all other cases, only minor corrections are permissible; e.g., to correct the foreign
registration number or the country that issued the registration, if supported by the record.
Where the omission of a basis is due to USPTO error, as supported by the record, the omitted basis may be added, but not under
Section 7; instead, the registration must be restored to pendency and published with the correct information. See TMEP Section

FEE INFORMATION
The fee to amend or correct a registration due to a mistake by the owner of the registration is $100.00 per registration.
TOTAL FEE PAID = $ 100.00
Amount
I hereby elect not to submit any fee. I believe no fee is required because I am seeking to correct an immaterial, e.g., clerical
error, that was the fault of the USPTO, rather than the fault of the owner. I understand that the Office may, upon later review,
require a fee payment.

SIGNATURE(S)

The declaration (if required) and request will not be "signed" in the sense of a traditional paper document. The signatory must enter any
alpha/numeric character(s) or combination thereof of his or her choosing, preceded and followed by the forward slash (/) symbol. The USPTO
does not determine or pre-approve what the entry should be, but simply presumes that this specific entry has been adopted to serve the function
of the signature. Most signatories simply enter their names between the two forward slashes, although acceptable "signatures" could include
/john doe/; /jd/; or /123-4567/.

*DECLARATION SIGNATURE

Privacy Policy Statement
The information collected on this form allows the USPTO to determine whether a mark may be registered on the Principal or Supplemental Register, and provides notice of an applicant’s
claim of ownership of the mark. Requests to the request for information are required to obtain the benefit of a registration on the Principal register. 15 U.S.C. § 1051 et. seq. and 37 CFR
Part 2. All information collected will be made public. Gathering and providing the information will require an estimated 20 minutes (depending if the request is based on an intent to use the
mark in commerce, use of the mark in commerce, or a foreign application or registration). Please direct comments on the time needed to complete this form, and/or suggestions for

reducing this burden to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313-1450. Please note that the
USPTO may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information using a form that does not display a valid OMB control number.

3. Backend processing Note: This should be handled in the same manner as any other Post Registration filing is currently
handled.
4. The INPUT TABLE and TEXT FORM should match what we are currently using for the ROA form, with the proper change
of title to
“Section 7 Request”.

concurrently) requires one new
