<p class="MsoNormal">My brain is having a meltdown over this today. By what mechanism can I upload a signed POA in a trademark application in which there’s already an appointed attorney?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is an Attorney of Record already named on the application, but the client would like to revoke that POA and appoint my firm. I have a PDF copy of a Power of Attorney signed by my client to make that revocation and appointment.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m trying to file that POA with the Office. At the beginning of the CAR form, I have to select a radio button for who is using the form: Owner or Attorney. I can’t use it as Attorney, even though they are a client and I have a signed
POA, because there is another attorney already appointed. I can enter the proper form as the Owner (they’ve signed the POA I’m uploading), but then on the final signature page I can’t actually sign an S-signature as the Owner, and I can’t select the radio
button to sign as Authorized U.S.-Licensed Attorney because I can’t confirm that a POA or revocation has already been filed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know I can send the signature link to the client for e-signature, but I already have the signed POA and I don’t want to ask them to sign something else. Which buttons/mechanism do you use to accomplish this?
