TEAS update will allow 60 days for signatures

The Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and the Trademark Electronic Application System International (TEASi) will be unavailable due to system maintenance Saturday, May 21 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is updating the online forms to:

  • Prepare for issuing electronic trademark registration certificates
  • Enhance the ability to update multiple files at once using the Change Address or Representation (CAR) form
  • Increase the amount of time signatories have to sign TEAS forms when using the email text to second party for signature method from 14 to 60 days

To avoid losing work, submit completed and saved TEAS and TEASi forms, including e-signature forms, by 7:59 a.m. ET on Saturday, May 21. You will not be able to access previously saved forms or e-signature forms after the system maintenance.

To learn more about changes to TEAS and TEASi, visit the TEAS and TEASi maintenance and enhancement page on the USPTO website.
