About this template
What is this template?
This is a mandatory statutory filing for the Indian Patent Office and not a private agreement. It contains specific fields for reporting INR revenue from manufacturing versus imports and a 500-word limit for explaining non-working.
When should you use it?
Use this form when you hold or license a patent in India and must comply with the annual reporting requirement under Section 146(2). Use a Patent Assignment if you are transferring ownership instead of reporting usage.
