What is the difference between a "Change" (Recordal of Change) and an "Assignment"?
A "Change" refers to an alteration in the owner's own legal details, such as the company name or address, while the ownership entity itself remains the same。An "Assignment" is a transfer of ownership from one legal entity to a completely different one.
How long does it take to record a change with the IPD?
The IPD typically takes a few weeks to process and approve a Recordal of Change application, depending on their workload.
Do I receive a new registration certificate after a name or address change?
No. The IPD does not typically re-issue the trademark certificate for a Recordal of Change. Instead, they will update the official register and issue a confirmation notice which, together with your original certificate, serves as proof of your updated and valid trademark rights.
What happens if I don't update my trademark details?
Failure to update can lead to serious risks, including the inability to receive official communications (which may result in missing deadlines for renewal or opposition proceedings), challenges in enforcing your trademark against infringers, and potential challenges to the validity of your registration.
