About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal statutory filing used by the Indian Patent Office for substituting the claimant as the rightful patent applicant. It is not an initial patent application or a transfer of ownership deed, but a procedural step following a legal determination of entitlement.
When should you use it?
Use this form when the Controller or a Court has ruled that you are the rightful owner of an invention currently filed by another. Use Form 1 for a standard initial patent application instead.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Item 1 | Applicant Details | Records the name, nationality, and address of the person requesting the patent grant in their name. |
| Item 2 | Statutory Authority | Specifies whether the request follows a direction under Section 26(1) or an order under Section 52(2) of the Patents Act, 1970. |
| Item 3 | Patent Identification | Requires the application number or patent number and the date of the relevant order or direction from the Controller or Court. |
Who it's for
- a person seeking to be substituted as the applicant for a patent following a Controller's direction under Section 26(1)

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
