Valid Grounds for Rectification

When Can a Registered Trademark Be Removed from the Register?

Trademark Rectification under Section 57 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 can be sought on any of the following grounds. Our authorised attorney analyses which grounds apply to your specific case and builds the strongest possible petition.

🚫
Non-Use for 5+ Consecutive Years
If the registered trademark has not been used in India for 5 or more consecutive years from the date of registration, a rectification petition for removal can be filed on grounds of non-use. This is one of the strongest and most commonly successful grounds for removal.
Section 47 – Non-Use
⚠️
Mark Was Similar to Your Prior Mark
If the registered mark is identical or deceptively similar to your trademark that was already in use or registered before the conflicting mark's filing date, and the registration was wrongly granted, rectification can be sought to remove it from the Register.
Section 57 – Wrongly Registered
🎭
Registered in Bad Faith
If the trademark was registered by a party acting in bad faith – such as a former employee, agent, partner, or someone who copied your mark – and the registration should not have been granted, a rectification petition can seek its cancellation on grounds of bad faith.
Section 57 – Bad Faith
❌
Mark Has Become Deceptive
A trademark that was legitimately registered but has since become deceptive, misleading, or contrary to public policy or law can be removed from the Register. The mark's continued registration must be shown to be likely to mislead the public or cause confusion.
Section 57 – Post-Registration
👤
Wrong Proprietor Recorded
If the trademark is registered in the name of a party who is not the true and rightful owner – through fraudulent filing, identity confusion, or an incorrect assignment – a rectification petition can correct the Register to reflect the true proprietor.
Section 57 – Incorrect Entry

Not Sure of Your Grounds?
Rectification grounds are fact-specific and require careful legal analysis before filing. Our process management team coordinates with your authorised attorney to assess the conflicting mark's registration, identify the strongest applicable grounds, and advise on the prospects before you purchase.

Your complete rectification journey. One payment covers every step – from analysing the conflicting mark's grounds to the final Registry or IPAB order removing it from the Register.

Step 1 – Grounds Analysis & Petition Drafting
Legal Grounds Analysis

All documentation reviewed by your authorised attorney for legal precision and completeness before filing.
Step 2 – Filing & Proceedings Management
Petition Filing – Registry or IPAB
The complete rectification petition is filed before the appropriate forum – Trademark Registry for administrative rectification or IPAB (Intellectual Property Appellate Board) as applicable to your case. Government fee of ₹2,700 paid as part of your all-inclusive price. Filing acknowledgement received and shared with you immediately.
Registry / IPAB Follow-Up & Query Response
After filing, our platform team coordinates with your authorised attorney to track case progress.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Trademark Rectification on ipronline.com.

What is Trademark Rectification and when can I use it?
Trademark Rectification is a legal proceeding under Section 57 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 through which any person aggrieved by an entry on the Trademark Register – whether a wrongful entry, an incorrect entry, or a mark that should not have been registered – can petition the Trademark Registry or IPAB for removal, correction, or variation of that entry. Rectification is the remedy available when a trademark is already registered – unlike opposition, which must be filed before registration. If you missed the opposition window and the conflicting mark has already been granted registration, rectification is the available legal remedy.
What is the most common ground for trademark rectification?
Non-use for 5 or more consecutive years (under Section 47 of the Trade Marks Act) is one of the most commonly invoked and successful grounds for trademark rectification. If a registered trademark has not been put to genuine commercial use in India for 5 consecutive years from the date of registration, a rectification petition for its removal on grounds of non-use can be filed. Other common grounds include: the mark being wrongly registered (similar to an earlier mark), bad faith registration, and incorrect proprietor details on the Register.
Is the government fee included in the ₹14,900 price?
Yes – the ₹2,700 government fee per mark per class for filing the rectification petition is fully included in your all-inclusive price of ₹14,900. This covers: ₹2,700 government fee + Platform Process Management Fee + GST @ 18%. There are no additional payments, no hidden add-ons, and no surprise charges at any stage of the rectification proceedings.
Where is the rectification petition filed – Registry or IPAB?
Rectification petitions may be filed before the Trademark Registry or the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB), depending on the specific circumstances and the grounds being invoked. Our authorised attorney advises on the appropriate forum for your specific case before filing. Our platform manages the filing process at whichever forum is applicable – both are covered within this package at the same price.
What happens if the registered proprietor files a counter-statement?
The registered proprietor of the mark you are seeking to remove may file a counter-statement in response to the rectification petition. Monitoring the counter-statement and coordinating the appropriate response strategy is included in this package. Your authorised attorney reviews the counter-statement and advises on the response. The proceedings then move to an evidence stage, followed by a hearing. All such further steps within the rectification proceedings are managed within this package.
Are hearings included in this package?
Yes – hearing coordination and attorney representation at all Registry / IPAB scheduled hearings are included within this package, upon your written authorisation. Legal appearances are undertaken by your authorised IP attorney upon your written consent. All hearing preparation, brief drafting and post-hearing follow-up are managed by our platform team at no additional fee within this package.
How long does trademark rectification take?
Trademark rectification proceedings are governed by the Trademark Registry's or IPAB's schedule and cannot be predicted in advance. The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, whether the registered proprietor files a counter-statement, the scheduling of hearing dates, and whether any further procedural steps are directed. Your dedicated coordinator provides regular status updates throughout – you always know exactly where your case stands.
What if I'm not sure whether my situation supports a rectification petition?
Connect with our process management team via WhatsApp (+91 98192 98195) before purchasing. Share the conflicting trademark's registration number and details, and your evidence of prior rights or use. Our team coordinates with your authorised attorney to assess the grounds and advise on the prospects of the rectification petition – at no charge before purchase. Rectification grounds are fact-specific and a pre-purchase assessment ensures you file with the right grounds in place.
Does ipronline.com provide legal services?
No. ipronline.com is a technology platform providing process management, documentation and workflow tools in accordance with Indian IP procedures. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice or legal services. When legal representation is needed, you authorise independent IP Attorneys at your discretion.
Is my payment secure?
