Is it possible to make changes to the mark after it is filed?
Yes, it is possible to make non-material changes to a trademark application. The process and associated fees depend on the timing of the changes. If the trademark has not been published in the Official Gazette, changes can be requested through your brandme account, with additional fees to the Firm and filing fees to the Trademark Office potentially applicable.
If the trademark has already been published in the Official Gazette, changes generally require a Post-Publication Amendment, with which brandme can assist. Depending on the scope of the amendment, filing a new application may be necessary. For example, broadening the scope of the mark or adding international categories may require paying additional fees and/or filing a new application. However, clerical errors are usually easy to fix and don’t typically impact the applicant’s place in line or require a new application.
