Correct Your Trademark Records Legally – Fast & Hassle-Free Rectification.
Trademark rectification is the legal process of correcting or modifying an entry in the Trademark Register when an error, discrepancy, or misleading detail is found in a registered or pending trademark.
It can be initiated by the trademark owner, a third party, or the Trademark Registrar when incorrect particulars appear in the register—such as wrong name/address of the owner, wrong class of goods/services, clerical mistakes, or trademarks wrongly remaining on the register. Rectification helps maintain accuracy, transparency, and fairness by ensuring that only valid and error-free trademarks remain legally protected.
