➤ Trade Marks Rules, 2017 → Explains filing processes, deadlines, fees, opposition procedures, and corrections.

➤ Infringement & Remedies → Meaning of infringement, and available legal actions (civil/criminal).
➤ International Treaties → Basics of Madrid Protocol and filing trademarks internationally via India.
➤ Drafting Skills → Practical legal drafting like replies to objections, oppositions, and rectifications.
➤ Basic IP Law Awareness → Basic knowledge of Patents, Copyrights, and Industrial Designs, and how they relate to trademarks.
This exam syllabus tests your understanding of trademark law, procedures, international aspects, and your ability to draft legal documents.
Once candidates pass the written Trademark Agent Examination, they must appear for an oral (viva voce) examination. This stage assesses their practical understanding of trademark law, communication abilities, and their capacity to apply legal principles effectively in real-world scenarios.
Key areas of evaluation include interpreting the Trade Marks Act, 1999, drafting responses to examination objections, preparing notices of opposition and counter-statements, and understanding international frameworks such as the Madrid Protocol. Emphasis is placed on clarity of communication, legal reasoning, and practical application of trademark procedures.
The oral exam ensures that candidates possess the legal, procedural, and interpersonal skills necessary to function as a competent and registered trademark agent.
