Undo And Redo In Legal Illinois Trademarks Forms For Free

You can modify the trademark you're using on your products and services, but you cannot modify an existing registration, so unless you register your newly modified trademark, it will not have the same scope of protection as a prior, unmodified, registered trademark.

Common law trademarks are free and do not require any paperwork or forms. There is no way to register a name trademark for free because you will always have to pay at least a small fee that covers the costs of examining and processing your trademark application. There is no way to get a federal trademark for free.

How Do I Amend a Trademark Registration? If your trademark registration is not the subject of a cancellation proceeding, then you can amend your trademark registration by filing a Section 7 Request for Amendment with the USPTO. The Section 7 is an online form that is available on the USPTO's website.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a logo to an existing or a pending trademark. As a matter of fact, it is not possible to add any extra elements (written or visual) to a pending or registered trademark.

If your application is abandoned but you still want to pursue a trademark registration, you may be able to revive your application by filing a petition.

If you file a second application for the exact same mark on exactly the same goods and services, your second application will be rejected if the USPTO has already taken action on the first application. If no action has been taken in either application, then both applications will be refused.
