Trademark Rectification and Register-Correction Support
A disputed or incorrect trademark register entry needs the right legal route. TaxQue helps organise the registration record, proposed grounds and supporting evidence for the rectification work covered by the engagement. Share the mark details and any pending proceeding before choosing a plan.
Rectification is different from a routine application amendment, renewal or opposition. The proper forum, standing, grounds and procedure require case-specific review. Confirm drafting, filing, evidence and hearing coverage separately; the Registry or competent forum decides the outcome.
What is Trademark Rectification?
Identify the entry and proposed grounds: Review exactly what is challenged or needs correction and the supporting registration and use records.
Choose the appropriate proceeding: Distinguish rectification or removal from an ordinary proprietor-detail change or pre-registration opposition.
Define evidence and representation work: Agree which pleadings, evidence and appearances are included; filing an application does not establish the merits.

Forms, fees, due dates and eligibility can change and may differ by entity, state, activity or tax year. We confirm the relevant official instructions and the applicant’s facts before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Trademark Rectification
Trademark Rectification under Section 57 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, is a legal proceeding filed before the Registrar of Trade Marks or the High Court (IP Division) to correct an error, cancel a wrongfully registered mark, remove a trademark that was registered in bad faith, or remove a mark on grounds of continuous non-use for 5 years.
Under Section 57, any 'Person Aggrieved' whose commercial business, existing brand rights, or pending trademark application is adversely affected by a wrongful or abandoned registered trademark has the legal locus standi to file for rectification.
Common grounds include: (1) Non-use of the trademark for a continuous period of 5 years and 3 months under Section 47, (2) Fraudulent or bad-faith registration, (3) Mark registered without sufficient cause or remaining wrongly on the register, and (4) Mark becoming generic or deceptive over time.
Under Section 47(1)(b), if a registered trademark has not been used commercially in India for a continuous period of 5 years up to 3 months prior to the application date, the registration is liable to be completely struck off the register on grounds of non-use. TaxQue conducts market non-use investigations.
Your rectification petition is prepared and argued by a Senior Trademark Litigation Advocate and IP Counsel. We compile evidence of prior adoption, market non-use affidavits, and represent your case before the Registrar or High Court.
