Changes to register information
The value of IP rights depends on register information being accurate and up to date. A company’s name, address, owner, attorney or other details relating to the rights may change, for example in connection with corporate arrangements, business transactions or changes in group structure.
Berggren handles changes to register information relating to trade marks, designs, patents and other IP rights in Finland and internationally. We manage, for example, changes concerning ownership, names, addresses, attorneys and classifications, as well as the required documents, translations and legalisations.
Up-to-date register information clarifies ownership and makes it easier to defend, use, license and transfer IP rights. We determine the country-specific requirements, coordinate the process and make the registration of changes as straightforward as possible for the client.

Why should register information be kept up to date?
When register information is accurate, the ownership of IP rights is clear and the rights are easier to manage. This is particularly important when rights are defended, licensed, sold, acquired or assessed as part of a company’s intangible assets.
Up-to-date information also reduces delays and uncertainties in situations involving deadlines, oppositions, renewals or contract negotiations concerning the rights. A well-maintained IP portfolio supports business continuity and helps ensure that protection reflects the company’s current structure and objectives.
