About this template
What is this template?
This document is a statutory administrative form used to petition the Indian Patent Office to reconsider a decision. It is not a court appeal or a new patent application, but a request for internal review of an existing order.
When should you use it?
Use this form when the Controller of Patents has issued a decision you believe should be set aside under the Patents Act, 1970. Use a Notice of Appeal if you are instead moving the matter to a higher judicial body.
Who it's for
- a patent applicant in India seeking to challenge a specific order issued by the Controller
- a legal representative filing a Form 24 to review an administrative patent decision
How long it runs and how it's signed
