Following are the grounds under which an application for rectification can be filed:
The trademark was registered without any bonafide intention that it should be used in relation to the goods and services for which it was originally registered and there has been no use of the trademark for 3 months before the date of the application.
The entry made in the register was made without sufficient cause or was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation of facts, or if the mark is deceptively similar to an earlier registered trademark.
The registered trademark has not been used for a continuous period of 5 years from the date of registration of trademark.
The Proprietor is no longer competent in case of the goods and the services for which the mark is registered or there is no longer any public advantage for the mark to remain registered.
