Trademark Rectification


Key aspects of trademark rectification include:

  • Purpose: It ensures the trademark register remains accurate, protects brand reputation, and allows for the removal of marks that are not in use or were wrongly registered.
  • Grounds for Filing: Rectification is initiated if the mark was registered without sufficient cause, contains errors, or has not been used for a consecutive period of 5 years


Difference from Opposition

  • Opposition: Filed before a trademark is registered, during the advertisement stage
  • Rectification: Filed after a trademark has already been registered
