  The Registrar can correct the RoT (Register of Trademarks) on filing an application in the prescribed manner by the registered trademark proprietor in the following manner:

  • Correct any error in the name, address or description of the registered proprietor of a trademark or any other entry relating to the trade mark
  • Enter any change in the title, address or description of the proprietor of a trademark

  Error Correction or Change

  The Registrar can correct any error, or enter any change, in the registered user's name, address or description. The proprietor must make an application in the prescribed manner by a registered trademark user. Also, it must happen after notice to the registered proprietor.

  Alteration of Registered Trademark Logos

   The registered trade mark proprietor can apply to the Registrar to add or alter the trademark in the prescribed manner. But the application must not substantially affect the identity. Also, the Registrar can refuse leave or grant it on any terms and limitations as he thinks fit.

  The Registrar can cause an application to be advertised in the prescribed expedient manner. However, the Registrar must do so within the specified time from the date of the advertisement when a person gives notice to the Registrar. Furthermore, this notice must be prescribed for the opposition to the application. Finally, the Registrar can decide the matter after hearing the parties.

  If the leave is granted, the trademark as altered will be advertised in the prescribed manner unless the application has already been announced.
