About this template

What is this template?

This is a prescribed statutory form under the Indian Trade Marks Act 1999 for intervening in specific registry actions. It is not an application to become a registered user, but rather a notice to join a dispute initiated by someone else. The form requires the specific Trade Mark Number, the Class, and the names of the existing Registered Proprietor and Registered User.

When should you use it?

Use this form when you have a legal interest in a proceeding brought to vary or cancel a registered user and wish to be heard by the Registrar. If you are the party initiating the cancellation yourself, use Form TM-U (or the relevant cancellation application form) instead.

Who it's for

  • a third party seeking to join proceedings to cancel a registered user entry
  • an interested person intervening in the variation of a trademark user registration
  • legal agents representing a party in Trade Marks Registry proceedings in India
