How to use our trademark guides
Guides, sources and individual matters
TM Consultant publishes explanations of trademark procedures, classes, forms and common application issues. The website also provides drafting frameworks to help organise relevant facts and evidence.
Read each guide with the current Trade Marks Act, Trade Marks Rules and the official source linked for the subject. Classification questions may also require the relevant WIPO Nice Classification entry. A general guide cannot determine the outcome of an individual application.
A date shown on a page is not a guarantee that no later amendment, notice or decision affects the topic. Check the current official source and the communication in your own matter before acting.
Using a draft framework
Drafts require the actual application details, communications, dates and supporting documents. Remove statements that the evidence does not support. Check the applicable filing, service and execution requirements for the particular matter.
Corrections and questions
If you identify an error or a source that has changed, email contact@tmconsultant.in with the page link and the relevant official reference. For an application query, include the application number and the issue you want to discuss.
