The DIPP (Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion) had recently notified the amended Trademark Rules, 2017.\u00a0 The notification was released on 6th<\/sup> March, 2017 amidst intense speculation in the IP fraternity. The amended rules primarily seek to simplify the process of trademark filing and prosecution.<\/p>\n It is interesting to know that the amended rules have cut down the number of trademark application forms to eight from seventy four and has also scrapped several redundant and obsolete provisions.<\/p>\n The following table provides a better sagacity into the use of each new form.<\/p>\n S.No.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Actions that can be taken under the forms<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n 1.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-A<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-M<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 3.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-R<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 4.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-C<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 5.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-O<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 6.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-P<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 7.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-U<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 8.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n TM-G<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 9.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Misc.

Further, in order to make the whole application process simple, the naming of forms has been done according to the type of application. For instance, TM-R stands for Renewal or Restoration application, TM-C stands for Copyright Search Certificate,and TM-U stands for Registered User Applications and so on.<\/p>\n Authored by the Nikhil Kumar, Trade Mark Division at BananaIP Counsels<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The amended Trademark Rules 2017 have consolidated trademark forms in India, reducing their number and simplifying processes for applicants.
