About this template
What is this template?
This is a statutory filing under the Indian Trade Marks Act 1999 specifically for updating an address for service. It is not an application for a new trade mark or a transfer of ownership, but a purely administrative filing to update the contact record on the Register of Trade Marks. The form requires the specification of the mark number and the new Indian address.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you have an existing trade mark application or registration in India and need to change where the Registrar sends official mail. Use Form TM-M instead if you are requesting multiple types of amendments to the register simultaneously.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Paragraph 1 | Proprietor or Applicant Details | The person making the request identifies themselves as either the registered proprietor, a registered user, or an applicant for a trade mark. |
| Paragraph 2 | Trade Mark Specification | The applicant provides the trade mark number and the class of goods or services under which the mark is registered or applied for. |
| Paragraph 3 | New Address for Service | The applicant specifies the full address in India where all communications from the Registrar should be sent regarding the identified mark. |
Who it's for
- a trade mark owner in India updating their contact details for legal service
- an applicant for a trade mark in India appointing an agent with a new service address
- a registered user of a trade mark changing their official address on the register
