The Object of IPAB has been speedy disposal of appeals and rectification of applications. Intellectual Property Appellate Board has its headquarters at Chennai whereas there are 4 other circuit benches at Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Ahmedabad.
The Trademarks Act 1999(47of 1999) in its Statement of Objects and Reasons declared that to achieve the purposes for which the trademark law was re-enacted it was proposed, inter alia , to provide for an Appellate Board for speedy disposal of appeals and rectification applications which then lay before the High Courts. Accordingly the IPAB was established by the Central Government, which was notified in the Official Gazette on 15th Sept 2003
The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act 1999 was enacted to provide for the registration and better protection of geographical indications relating to goods. Among the salient features of the Act was the provision of appellate remedy before the IPAB established under the Trademarks Act.

The IPAB was conferred by this Act with the jurisdiction to hear all cases against any order or decision of the controller and all cases pertaining to revocation of patent other than on a counter claim in a suit for infringement and rectification of registers and all such cases which were pending before the High Courts stood transferred to the IPAB by S.117-G of this Act
The Intellectual Property Appellate Board (Procedure) Rules, 2003 were made by the Intellectual Property Appellate Board to regulate its proceedings in exercise of powers conferred upon it. The decision of the Board shall be final and binding.
