How should I address trademark-related documents to the USPTO?

For trademark-related documents filed on paper, except for certain specific cases, the address is:

Commissioner for Trademarks
P.O. Box 1451
Alexandria, VA 22313-1451

According to MPEP 501, which cites 37 CFR 2.190: “All trademark-related documents filed on paper, except documents sent to the Assignment Recordation Branch for recordation; requests for copies of trademark documents; and certain documents filed under the Madrid Protocol as specified in 37 CFR 2.190(e), should be addressed to: Commissioner for Trademarks, P.O. Box 1451, Alexandria, VA 22313-1451.”

It’s important to note that many trademark documents can and should be filed electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).
