The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as of the 3 rd of August 2019, will now require that persons who reside outside of the USA, must carry out their transactions with the USPTO through a licensed attorney. The reason provided for this new requirement is that these transactions are legally significant, and there is a considerable amount of transactions that are not legally and procedurally correct. While this change does not affect applications and renewals made through International Bureau and the

WIPO Madrid System, direct transactions with the USPTO regarding these applications must now be carried out by an attorney licensed in the USA. You may inquire further information through the

USPTO and WIPO links provided below. For detailed information contact us at info@eyubogluas.com.tr or at 0 312 428 51 93.
