Final Opportunity Before Abandoning TM Applications


The Indian Trademarks Registry had dispatched a total of 13,062 examination reports containing objections under sections 9 (Absolute Grounds for Refusal of Registration), 11 (Relative Grounds for Refusal of Registration) and other relevant sections of the Trademarks Act, 1999 during the month of March and April 2016.

On July 11, 2016, the Office informed that it has received only 3,484 replies. Although, the prescribed time to reply the examination reports of the remaining 9,578 applications has been lapsed, the Office has extended that time up to July 31, 2016. If no reply is received on or before July 31, 2016, the application would be deemed as abandoned. The Office offers applicants and authorised agents that they can send a scanned copy of reply to the examination report to the email address parm.tmr@nic.in

A list of concerned applications can be seen in the Trade Mark Journal No. 1753 dated July 11, 2016 from pages 7,100 to 7,276 or here
