The law requires that any change in the trade mark owner’s details, such as a change of name or address, is recorded on the Trade Marks Register.

To record a change of name requires filing an application at IPONZ to amend the Trade Marks Register along with evidence of the change (such as a certificate of incorporation).

A change of name of the trade mark owner should not be confused with a change of ownership through assignment.
