About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing used to request a formal search of the Indian Trade Mark Registry's database. It is not an application to register a trademark but a preliminary step to obtain a certificate of non-conflict for a proposed company name. The document contains fields for the proposed name, the name of the person requesting the search, and the signature of the applicant or their authorized agent.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you are in the pre-incorporation phase of a company in India and need to verify name availability against existing trademarks. Use Form TM-1 instead if you are ready to file for a specific trademark registration rather than just searching for name availability.
