2026 Update: USPTO Tightens Attorney-of-Record Rules for Trademark Filings from Asia
2026-09-11 20:52:38

If your clients are filing U.S. trademarks from Korea, Japan, Singapore, or Southeast Asia, the compliance bar just got higher. Since August 2023, every trademark applicant domiciled outside the U.S. must be represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney — and in 2026, the USPTO is actively enforcing this rule. Applications filed by unlicensed 'agents,' attorneys suspended for misconduct, or non-lawyer services using borrowed credentials are being hit with defect notices, indefinite suspensions, missed deadlines, and even abandonment for failure to respond.
In this focused 15-minute session, our U.S.-licensed attorney breaks down three essentials:
· How to verify an attorney's active bar status in real time before filing
· The correct procedure for changing the attorney of record — and why failing to notify the USPTO can kill an application
· Why a properly licensed attorney is now a matter of application validity, not convenience
Join us for this quick, practical briefing — bring your pending cases and questions, and leave with a clear compliance checklist you can apply to your U.S. filings immediately. Seats are limited; register now to secure your spot.
