[E-trademarks] Mistake in Trademark Assignment

Tue Nov 19 17:31:17 UTC 2024

Consider, if possible, correcting (in ink) the assignor's name in the assignment, having the correction initialed in the margin by the assignor, and filing with a "corrective" cover sheet.

A assigns ITU application to B (as part of a transfer of the entire business)

The assignment document and the resulting conveyance form filed with the Assignment Branch contain an incorrect name for B.

Assignment Branch has not acted on the filing.

What steps should one take before or when filing a revised assignment agreement where the goal is to essentially tell the Assignment Branch to ignore the initial filing?
