Types of Trademark Filing Forms
The new Trademark Rules, 2017 expedited the trademark registration process by reducing the number of forms. The filing fee for the purpose of trademark registration has been revised.
Trademark rules provided the regulations that govern the filing of fees and forms for the purpose of trademark prosecution in India. Trademark application and prosecution in India since its inception involves the filing of various forms by the trademark holder/agent/attorney with the registry. For smooth and successful prosecution of trademark applications, forms need to be accompanied by the prescribed fees and required documents as mentioned in the Act and Rules.
Below table mentions the major forms of trademark like trademark application, trademark objection, trademark renewal, etc. These forms filed on the IP India website. IP India is the regulatory body for registering all the Intellectual Property and also manages all the data of Intellectual Property.
