Frequently Asked Questions
Trademark Rectification FAQs
What is Trademark Rectification?
Trademark Rectification is a proceeding to correct, cancel, vary, remove or expunge an entry from the Register of Trade Marks when the registered entry is wrong, invalid, wrongly remaining, wrongly made, unused or legally defective.
When is Trademark Rectification filed?
It is generally filed after a trademark is already registered. It can be used where a registered mark should be removed, limited, corrected or varied based on legal grounds and evidence.
Which sections cover Trademark Rectification?
Common rectification and removal matters are handled under Sections 47 and 57 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Section 47 is mainly linked with non-use removal, while Section 57 covers cancellation, variation and rectification of the register.
Which form is used for Trademark Rectification?
Under the Trade Marks Rules, an application to make, expunge or vary an entry in the register under Sections 47, 57, 68 or 77 is made in Form TM-O with a statement explaining the applicant's interest, facts and relief sought.
Who can file Trademark Rectification?
A person aggrieved may file rectification where the registered mark or register entry affects their legal or commercial interest. A registered proprietor may also seek certain corrections, cancellations or limitations depending on the issue.
What is non-use cancellation of trademark?
Non-use cancellation can be sought when the registered mark was registered without bona fide intention to use or where there has been no bona fide use for the statutory period, subject to the facts and Section 47 requirements.
What is the difference between Trademark Opposition and Rectification?
Trademark Opposition is filed before registration after Trade Marks Journal advertisement. Trademark Rectification is generally a post-registration remedy against a registered trademark or register entry.
What is the difference between Trademark Objection and Rectification?
Trademark Objection is raised by the Registry during examination of a pending application. Rectification deals with a registered mark or an entry already present in the Register of Trade Marks.
