About this template

What is this template?

This is a statutory filing used by the Indian Trade Marks Registry for administrative or legal challenges to registered marks. It is not a contract or a private agreement but a formal request to a government registrar. It specifically requires a Fee of Rs.3000 and a statement of case.

When should you use it?

Use this form when you need to remove a mark for non-use or rectify an entry that was made without sufficient cause. Use Form TM-M instead for miscellaneous requests that do not involve formal rectification under Section 57.
