to patent/trade mark applications, including the status, examination reports and other documents. This
manual is expected to bring in further transparency and uniform practices in the four offices.
Processing of a application is a multi-stage process, involving filing of an application,electronic data processing, screening and classification, publication, examination, pre-grant opposition, grant / refusal. Different persons like Examiner of Trade marks, Controller of Trade Marks, Applicant / Agent and general public are involved in the process.
