About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing used by the Indian Patent Office to process formal changes to patent records. It is not an agreement between parties but a petition to a regulator that must include a declaration regarding the absence of litigation. It specifically requires a highlighted copy of the proposed changes to be annexed to the filing.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you need to modify a patent application or specification already on file with the Indian authorities. Use Form 1 instead if you are making the initial application for a patent.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |

| Paragraph 1 | Request for Leave to Amend | Identifies the specific patent application number and date for which the applicant seeks to amend documents or specifications. |
