A wrongly registered trademark can create serious conflicts for your brand. Trademark Rectification allows you to correct, modify, or cancel any trademark that has been incorrectly placed on the Register even after it has been registered. If you missed filing an opposition or a conflicting mark slipped through unnoticed, rectification gives you a second chance to protect your rights.
Trademark Rectification (also called cancellation or removal) is a legal process to:
- Remove a wrongly registered trademark
- Correct or modify incorrect trademark details
- Cancel marks not used for 5+ years
- Challenge trademarks obtained in bad faith or through misrepresentation
