Details

Use this form to ask us to record changes in the ownership of designs, including company mergers, or to record or cancel a licence or security interest against a design. It is not a substitute for the assignment document or other proof of the transaction. We may ask you to provide written proof of the transaction.

If the applicant or proprietor has merely changed their name, use Form DF16A, not this one.

We suggest you check the proprietor’s name and the designs they own by doing a proprietor search on our website before you fill in the form.
