9th Edition of the Nice Classification Adopted


The Government of India has amended the Indian Trademark Rules 2000, adopting the 9th Edition of the NICE Classification. Trademark applications can now be filed in classes 43, 44 and 45, which was earlier filed under class 42.

Furthermore, the amendment will now enable the Registered Proprietor to obtain a duplicate copy or a copy of the Registration Certificate by proving with suitable evidence that the same was never received earlier, without any further payment of fee.

The amended rules are referred to as "Trade Marks (Amendment) Rules, 2010", which entered into force May 20th, 2010.
