About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing used to challenge the continued registration or the specific terms of collective and certification marks. It is not a standard trademark application form and is specifically intended for removal or variation proceedings under Sections 68 and 77 of the Trade Marks Act 1999. It contains fields for an Agent Code, Proprietor Code, and a specific address for service in India.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you are an aggrieved person who needs to cancel or modify an existing certification or collective mark. Use Form TM-M instead for general requests to amend the register that do not fall under the specific grounds of Sections 68 or 77.
Who it's for
- an aggrieved person seeking to expunge a collective mark registration in India
- a party applying to the Registrar to vary a certification trade mark registration
- legal practitioners filing statutory forms under the Trade Marks Act 1999
