About this template

What is this template?

This is a statutory filing for the Indian Trade Marks Registry used specifically for a 'series' of marks. It is not a standard single-mark application or a collective mark application. It contains specific fields for Proprietor Code, Agent Code, and details of priority claims under Section 154.

When should you use it?

Use this form when registering a series of marks that resemble each other but differ in non-distinctive matters, such as color or size. Use Form TM-1 instead for a single standard trade mark application.

Who it's for

  • a proprietor seeking to register several marks with material resemblance in India
  • an applicant claiming priority from a trade mark filing in a convention country
  • a body corporate or firm registering marks in multiple Indian classes
