37 C.F.R. § 2.173 Amendment of registration.
Title 37 - Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights
(a) A registrant may apply to amend a registration or to disclaim part of the mark in the registration. The registrant must submit a written request specifying the amendment or disclaimer. This request must be signed by the registrant and verified or supported by a declaration under §2.20, and accompanied by the required fee. If the amendment involves a change in the mark, the registrant must submit a new specimen showing the mark as used on or in connection with the goods or services, and a new drawing of the amended mark. The registration as amended must still contain registrable matter, and the mark as amended must be registrable as a whole. An amendment or disclaimer must not materially alter the character of the mark. (b) No amendment in the identification of goods or services in a registration will be permitted except to restrict the identification or otherwise to change it in ways that would not require republication of the mark. No amendment seeking the elimination of a disclaimer will be permitted. (c) A printed copy of the amendment or disclaimer shall be attached to each printed copy of the registration. (Sec. 7, 60 Stat. 430, as amended; 15 U.S.C. 1057) [30 FR 13193, Oct. 16, 1965, as amended at 31 FR 5262, Apr. 1, 1966; 48 FR 23143, May 23, 1983; 64 FR 48926, Sept. 8, 1999; 69 FR 51364, Aug. 19, 2004]
