About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing form under the Indian Trade Marks Act, 1999 used to modify specific details of an existing registration. It is not an assignment or transfer document, as it explicitly requires that there has been no change in actual proprietorship. The form includes fields for trademark registration numbers, class details, and a statement of the circumstances causing the change.
When should you use it?
Use this form when a company has legally changed its name but remains the same legal entity owning the trademark. Use a Form for Assignment or Transmission instead if the trademark is being sold or transferred to a different person or company.
Who it's for
- a registered proprietor of a trademark in India needing to update their legal name
- a registered user of a trademark seeking to change their official description on the register
- an agent filing for a name change on behalf of a trademark holder

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.
