Trademark Cancellation 2024

Protecting Brand Integrity through Legal Cancellation

In today’s competitive landscape, not all trademark registrations are legitimate. Some trademarks are unused, wrongly filed, or cause confusion with existing brands. Through Trademark Cancellation, you can legally challenge and remove such marks from the Trademark Register.

Money Finkart provides professional support for filing or defending trademark cancellation and rectification petitions under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

What is Trademark Cancellation?

A legal process where a registered trademark can be:

Cancelled fully or partially from the Register
Rectified to correct details, ownership, or errors

The petition is filed before the Trademark Registry (TMR) or High Court benches (post-IPAB merger).
