Trademark Form Tm 48

When a trademark application is filed by someone other than the trademark applicant, a duly stamped TM-48 or Power of Attorney must be filed. This article delves into the Trademark Form Tm 48 format and the filing procedure.

Form TM 48 Requirement

If a trademark application has been submitted by a trademark attorney, representative, or authorized agent, the applicant must execute a Power of Attorney (Form TM 48) to empower the filing agent. Remember, the Power of Attorney must be directed to an individual agent or attorney. Form 48 granted to a firm without a specific agent mentioned is unacceptable. Ensure compliance by reviewing the important aspects of a trademark application.
