Trademark Rectification in India

About Our Service

What is Trademark Rectification?  

Trademark Rectification is the process of correcting or updating errors in an already registered trademark with the Indian Trademark Registry. It ensures that the trademark details are accurate and legally valid. This process is carried out under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

Common reasons for rectification include:

  • Wrong details of the trademark owner

  • Incorrect or misleading information in the application

  • Non-use of the trademark for a long period

  • Clerical or typographical mistakes in the trademark certificate

For a business owner, rectification is important because even a small error can affect your legal rights over the trademark.
