Section 15 – Geographical Indications Act: Correction and Amendment

The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 — back to Table of Contents

Section 15. Correction and amendment

The Registrar may, on terms considered just, permit correction of errors in, or amendment of, an application for registration at any stage — before or after acceptance.

Where an amendment involves dividing a single multi-class application (filed under section 11(3)) into two or more separate applications, each divided application retains the original filing date of the initial application.
