About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal filing for the Indian Trade Marks Registry to split an existing trademark application. It requires the original application number, the specific classes to be divided, and a revised specification of goods or services. It is not a new trademark application but a modification of a pending one.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you need to separate parts of a multi-class application into distinct filings to overcome partial objections or for strategic licensing. Use a new Form TM-A instead if you are filing a completely new trademark for the first time.
Who it's for
- an applicant needing to divide a single trademark application into different classes of goods or services
- a trademark owner splitting a specification of goods after receiving a Registrar order
