About this template
What is this template?
This is a prescribed statutory form used to file a counterstatement in response to a trademark opposition or rectification. It is not a notice of opposition, but rather the mandatory response required to maintain an application after an opposition is filed. It contains specific fields for the 'Proprietors code No' and 'Agents code No'.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you have received a notice of opposition to your trademark application and must file a response within the statutory deadline. Use Form TM-5 instead if you are the party initiating the opposition.
Who it's for
- an applicant for a trade mark registration in India defending against an opposition filing
- a trade mark proprietor responding to rectification proceedings under the Trade Marks Act 1999
