Back to Trademark ownership

How do I update my business name or address for a registered trademark with the UKIPO?

Founder & Trademark Attorney

UK trademark owners can change the owner of the trademark (or their address) via a simple amendment filed directly with the UKIPO for a small fee. The request must identify the trademark by registration number and provide the updated details.

If you’ve appointed a representative, they can handle the ownership update on your behalf. To complete this, what they’ll most likely need from you is supporting evidence of the name change, which includes a certificate of incorporation or a company registry extract.
