About this template

What is this template?

This is an official statutory filing for the Indian Trade Marks Registry used to revoke a user's registered status. It is not a contract or a private agreement but a formal administrative application. It requires the identification of specific trade mark numbers, registration classes, and detailed grounds for cancellation.

When should you use it?

Use this form when you need to formally notify the Registrar of Trade Marks to cancel a registered user entry. Use Form TM-16 instead if you are amending an existing registration rather than cancelling a user entirely.

Who it's for

  • a registered proprietor seeking to remove a registered user from their trade mark entry
  • an applicant citing grounds under section 50(1)(c) or (d) of the Trade Marks Act 1999
