About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing used in the Indian patent system to formally abandon a pending application. It is not a withdrawal of a granted patent, but rather a notice to the Controller to stop the examination of a specific application.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you no longer wish to pursue patent rights for an invention in India and want to prevent its further processing or publication. Use Form 27 instead for the statement of working of a granted patent.
