Trademark rectification is the legal process of correcting inaccuracies in the Register of Trademarks — such as errors in the owner's name, address, or other recorded particulars — or of removing/altering an entry that was wrongly made or wrongly remains on the register. It ensures that the official trademark record stays accurate, current, and legally defensible.
A rectification petition may be filed by the registered proprietor to correct a genuine clerical or factual error, or by any aggrieved person who believes a mark has been wrongly entered or wrongly retained on the register.
