About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing form used by the Indian Trade Marks Registry to process changes to the rules governing specialized marks. It is not an application for a new mark, but rather a request to modify the terms under which an existing collective or certification mark is used. It contains specific fields for the Agent's Code, Proprietor's Code, and class specifications.
When should you use it?
Use this form when the governing body of a collective mark needs to update its membership rules or when a certification mark owner changes its quality standards. Use Form TM-M instead for general changes to proprietor details or clerical errors.
