Joint Applicant :

Section 24 enables registration of two or more persons to be registered as joint proprietors of the trade mark, where the mark is used or proposed to be used in relation to goods or services connected with the joint applicants.

The trade mark law in India allows the proprietor to file a trade mark application only if they have a place of business in India. Should that not be the case, the rights holder will be required to file an application through a trade mark agent/attorney. The trade mark agent/attorney can do a trade mark search, prepare, file and prosecute the applications.
