Security measures expanding to more TEAS forms 

Beginning on June 12, we'll be expanding our successful pilot program and implementing new security measures in the Voluntary Amendment and Change Address or Representation forms in the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).

How it will work 

The system will determine whether you can file these forms without additional authorization, based on the information in your USPTO.gov account. If you need additional authorization to submit, you’ll see a prompt within the TEAS form to send a permission request to one of the contact email addresses on record. The recipient will have 48 hours to approve or deny your request. 

Only customers who require additional authorization will be prompted. If you do not need additional authorization, you will not see the prompt. 

How to prepare 

Attorneys and support staff should use the sponsorship tool to ensure their sponsorship and association information is current, along with all correspondence and courtesy email addresses.

Applicants and registrants without an attorney should ensure the owner email and any courtesy email addresses in their applications or registrations are current.

All customers should make sure the primary email address in their USPTO.gov account is current and accessible.

For help with technical issues, email TEAS@uspto.gov.
