Correct, update, or remove errors in a registered or pending trademark with expert legal assistance.
Trademark rectification is a legal process used to correct an error or remove an entry from the trademark register when a trademark has been wrongly registered or remains on the register without sufficient cause. Rectification applies when details such as the owner name, address, class, description of goods/services, or any clerical information in the trademark record are incorrect. In many cases, third parties can also file rectification requests if they believe a trademark was registered in violation of legal provisions. This process helps ensure that the trademark register remains accurate, up-to-date, and legally compliant. A properly handled rectification request protects the owner's rights, strengthens the legal standing of the trademark, and prevents complications during enforcement or future transactions such as licensing, assignments, or renewals.
