About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing form used by the Indian Trade Marks Registry for registering series marks. It is not a contract or an assignment and does not transfer ownership of intellectual property. It contains specific fields for the Proprietor's code and Agent's code.
When should you use it?
Use this form when applying for a series of marks that resemble each other as to their material particulars. Use Form TM-1 instead for a single trade mark registration.
