About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing form prescribed for use in the Indian Trade Marks Registry. It is not a general power of attorney; it is strictly limited to proceedings and applications under the Trade Marks Act 1999. It contains specific fields for the agent's registration number and the address for service in India.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you need to delegate the management of a trade mark application to a professional representative in India. Use a General Power of Attorney instead if the authority must extend beyond IP registry matters.
