Can I grant the Power of Attorney digitally?

Senior Trademark Attorney

Yes. In most jurisdictions, a digitally signed or electronically transmitted Power of Attorney is accepted. The standard process is for the legal representative to send a pre-filled document to the client, who signs it and returns it electronically.

Some jurisdictions require a physical signature or even a notarized version in specific circumstances. If your representative requires a physical signature, they will let you know. However, for most routine trademark filings, a digital signature or a scanned/signed copy is sufficient.
