submission. Please first ensure that all of the original application data has been fully loaded
into the USPTO's TARR database before attempting to use this form.
WARNING: While you may successfully submit a Voluntary Amendment, the filing will
NOT result in any information being automatically uploaded into the USPTO's databases.
An examining attorney must review the amendment to determine whether the proposed
change(s) is acceptable. Also, you may submit a Voluntary Amendment for an application
filed under the Madrid Protocol (Section 66(a)) only for limited purposes.
If making additional information part of the record for a registration where no change would
result to either the Trademark Database or the registration certificate (e.g., providing
information concerning use by a related party or specifying the dates of use for specific
goods and/or services within a class), the Office will neither examine nor act on such
submissions. Otherwise, if you wish to correct or amend information that is on the
registration certificate, do not use this form; instead, you must file a Section 7 Request for
