Replace an attorney of record with another already-appointed attorney:
Use this form if your application or post-registration filing designated a U.S.-licensed attorney as the attorney of record, and also named other appointed or associate attorneys, either in the application or post-registration filing itself or in a separate power of attorney. Specifically, use this form if the named attorney of record is being replaced by another previously appointed associate attorney (for example, if the attorney of record is leaving the firm, but the other appointed attorney will continue to represent the applicant).
Signing and submitting the form confirms you are an attorney previously identified in the application record whose power of attorney has not been revoked by the applicant or registrant.
Revoke or appoint an attorney
The owner of a mark may file and prosecute their own application for registration of the mark only if their domicile is within the United States or its territories. Foreign-domiciled owners must appoint and be represented in trademark matters before the USPTO by an attorney who is licensed to practice law in the United States. 37 CFR sections 2.11 and 11.14.
Once the we accept an appointment of attorney, we will send future correspondence to the attorney's address listed as part of any new power of attorney, or the owner's address, if there is no new attorney.
If the form is being used to revoke the power of attorney for all previously appointed attorneys (that is, the primary attorney of record and all other appointed attorneys, if any), the form must be signed by the individual applicant or registrant or by a person authorized to legally bind a juristic applicant/registrant (such as an officer of a corporation or a partner in a partnership). In this instance, the form may not be signed by the original attorney of record or the new attorney of record. In-house counsel may not revoke or appoint a power of attorney unless they are also authorized to legally bind the applicant or registrant (a corporate officer or the equivalent).
The current attorney of record may sign if using the form to:
- Appoint other U.S.-licensed attorneys or remove an associate attorney previously designated in the application record (those attorneys identified as "other appointed attorneys" in the record or specified in a previous appointment form). Additionally, if the original attorney of record has already left the firm, but another appointed attorney appeared in the original application or other power of attorney, then that person can use this form to add new U.S.-licensed associates, remove the original associated attorney, and move up into the "primary attorney" position.
- Add attorney bar information to the record
- Make an appearance on behalf of a previously unrepresented applicant or registrant in a pending matter
Request to withdraw as domestic representative
Use this form if the applicant has already filed an application with USPTO and has designated a domestic representative by either:
- Setting forth the name and address of the domestic representative in the application
- Filing a separate designation, signed by the applicant or someone with legal authority to bind the applicant, setting forth the name and address of the domestic representative.
Specifically, this form should be used if you have been previously designated as the domestic representative and now wish to withdraw from that role for any reason.
2. Request for Withdrawal as Attorney of Record/Update of USPTO's Database After Power of Attorney Ends
Use this form to:
- Ask to withdraw as the attorney of record for either a pending application or a registered mark. Within this form, you must be able to state clearly the reasons for the request to withdraw, and verify that you have taken all required steps (as set out in the body of the form) before submitting the request.
- Remove your attorney information from the current attorney and correspondence fields when the power of attorney has ended, such as when the relevant mark has registered or there has been a change in ownership of the mark.
Do not use this form to change or replace an attorney. If the withdrawing attorney of record is being replaced as attorney of record by another previously appointed associate attorney, file a Change Address or Representation form instead.
