After you apply
Can I add more countries?
You may
add countries
to your international trade mark at any time after the mark has been registered. Fill in a 'Request for subsequent designation' (form MM4)
and send it to us.
You will have to give the international registration number of your mark on this form, so if your mark is not yet registered you will not be able to add countries to your mark.
Managing your International trade mark
We do not take any action to record assignments, withdrawals or licences on international registered marks.
To record the
assignment (sale)
of an international mark, complete a 'Change in ownership' (form MM5)
. Send the form direct to WIPO or through the national office of the current owner of the mark.
To record a
change of name or address
of the Holder of an international mark, complete a Request for the recordal of a Change in Name and/or Address (Form MM9)
. Send the form direct to WIPO or through the national office of the current owner of the mark.
You can
withdraw
the mark from individual countries by completing a 'Renunciation' (form MM7)
. Send this form direct to WIPO, not the countries affected.
To
record a licence
granted against an International mark you should complete a 'Recording of a license' (form MM13)
and send it direct to WIPO.
We no longer record licences against UK designations of international marks but any licences which we recorded on our register before we changed our regulations in 2002 are still valid.
