About this template

What is this template?

This is a prescribed statutory form from the Indian Patent Office for requesting administrative intervention in patent ownership or application disputes. It is not a contract or a private agreement, but a filing to trigger the Controller's statutory powers. It requires the specification of the specific section of the Patents Act under which the direction is sought.

When should you use it?

Use this form when a joint owner of a patent refuses to sign a document or when parties cannot agree on the terms of a license, and the Controller's intervention is required. Use a Form 1 instead if you are initiating a new patent application.

Who it's for

  • a joint applicant for a patent where the other applicant refuses to proceed
  • a person interested in a patent seeking directions for the execution of documents
  • a patentee involved in a dispute with a joint owner regarding license grants

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
