Trademark Rectification — Clearing the register.
Applications to rectify or cancel entries on the register, including removal of marks unused for the prescribed period, and defence where your own registration is challenged.
Book Free ConsultationRectification is the mechanism for correcting the register: removing a mark that was wrongly registered, cancelling one that has not been used, or correcting an entry that no longer reflects the position.
It is most often used offensively. Where an application is blocked by an earlier mark that the proprietor is not actually using, seeking removal on grounds of non-use can clear the path more effectively than arguing around the conflict.
N D Savla & Associates assesses and coordinates these applications for businesses in Nashik and across Maharashtra, working with trademark agents and counsel on the proceedings themselves.
