About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing used by the Indian Trade Marks Registry to manage the record of authorized trademark users. It is not a private licensing agreement but the formal instrument used to record such an agreement on the official register. It contains specific sections for standard, collective, and certification marks.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you need to update the official status of a trademark licensee with the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks. Use a private Trademark License Agreement for the underlying contract between the parties before filing this form.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
