Frequently Asked Questions
Who can file a rectification petition?
Any 'aggrieved person' — typically someone whose own trademark application or business is affected by the registered mark. The Registrar can also suo motu rectify the register.
What is the time limit for filing a rectification petition?
There is no time limit for rectification based on non-use or wrong initial registration. However, for some grounds, delay can weaken your case — filing early is advisable.
What is the difference between trademark opposition and rectification?
Opposition is filed during the publication stage (before registration). Rectification is filed after the mark is already registered. Both seek to prevent or remove a mark, but at different stages.
