About this template
What is this template?
This is an official statutory filing used to extend the validity of a registered trade mark in India. It is not an application for a new mark, but a maintenance filing for an existing registration number and class. It requires specific proprietor and agent codes as assigned by the Registry.
When should you use it?
Use this form when an existing Indian trade mark is within six months of its expiration date. Use Form TM-A instead if you are applying for the initial registration of a new mark.
