The office of Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademark (CGPDTM) issued a notice informing about the organization of a virtual public meeting for brainstorming on the new Form 27. The meeting will be organized on July 29 at 4:30 and can be joined by using the open house meeting link (can be accessed from here). [Edit: Please note the link for the meeting has been changed today. The new link for the meeting can be found here- https://ipindia.gov.in/newsdetail.htm?995) While the move to organize the public meeting should be appreciated, the extremely short notice (of merely 4 days!) may be an issue for some relevant stakeholders. Regardless, we encourage all the interested stakeholders to please join in and share their views.
To know more about some of the issues with the new form, interested readers can take a look at our previous post here.
The notices from IPO on such events were always short.
What was discussed?
Dear Anon,
Thanks for your comment. Though I couldn’t attend the full meeting, for most of the part issues pertaining to the deadline for filing the Form and other procedural issues were discussed. For more clarity, I am hoping that the office will put out a separate order noting the minutes of the meeting.
