permitted use, uses a mark identical with it or so nearly resembling 
it as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion, in the course of trade, 
in relation to any goods in respect of which it is registered, and in such 
manner as to render the use of the mark likely to be taken either-
(a) as being used as a trade mark; or 
(b) in a case in which the use is use upon the goods or in 
physical relation thereto or in an advertising circular or other 
advertisement issued to the public, as importing a reference to 
some person having the right either as proprietor or as registered 
user to use the trade mark or to goods with which such a person 
as aforesaid is connected in the course of trade. 
(2) The right to the use of a trade mark given by registration as 
aforesaid shall be subject to any conditions or limitations entered 
on the register, and shall not be deemed to be infringed by the use 
of any such mark as aforesaid in any mode, in relation to goods to 
be sold or otherwise traded in in any place, in relation to goods to 
be exported to any market, or in any other circumstances, to which, 
having regard to any such limitations, the registration does not 
extend.

as aforesaid shall not be deemed to be infringed by the use of any 
such mark as aforesaid by any person-
(a) in relation to goods connected in the course of trade with 
the proprietor or a registered user of the trade mark if, as to 
those goods or a bulk of which they form part, the proprietor 
or the registered user conforming to the permitted use has 
applied the trade mark and has not subsequently removed or 
obliterated it, or has at any time expressly or impliedly con­
sented to the use of the trade mark; or 
(b) in relation to goods adapted to form part of, or to be 
accessory to, other goods in relation to which the trade mark 
has been used without infringement of the right given as afore­
said or might for the time being so used, if the use of the mark 
is reasonably necessary in order to indicate that the goods are 
so adapted and neither the purpose nor the effect of the use of 
the mark is to indicate otherwise than in accordance with the 
fact a connection in the course of trade between any person 
and the goods.

more registered trade marks that are identical or nearly resemble

Saving for 
vested 
rights. (2) In any action for infringement of the right to the use of a 
trade mark given by registration as aforesaid in Part B of the register, 
otherwise than by an act that is deemed to be an infringement by 
virtue of the next succeeding section, no injunction or other relief 
shall be granted to the plaintiff if the defendant establishes to the 
satisfaction of the Court that the use of which the plaintiff complains 
is not likely to deceive or cause confusion or to be taken as indicating 
a connection in the course of trade between the goods and some 
person having the right either as proprietor or as registered user to 
use the trade mark. 
8. (1) Where, by a contract in writing made with the proprietor Infringement 
or a registered user of a registered trade mark, a purchaser or owner ~:ri:ach of 
of goods enters into an obligation to the effect that he will not do, restrictions.

person who, being the owner for the time being of the goods and 
having notice of the obligation, does that act, or authorises it to be 
done, in relation to the goods, in the course of trade or with a view 
to any dealing therewith in the course of trade, shall be deemed 
thereby to infringe the right to the use of the trade mark given by the 
registration thereof, unless that person became the owner of the 
goods by purchase for money or money's worth in good faith before 
receiving notice of the obligation or by virtue of a title derived 
through another who so became the owner thereof. 
(2) The acts to which this section applies are-
(a) the application of the trade mark upon the goods after 
they have suffered alteration in any manner specified in the 
contract as respects their state or condition, get-up or packing; 
(b) in a case in which the trade mark is upon the goods, the 
alteration, part removal or part obliteration thereof; 
( c) in a case in which the trade mark is upon the goods, and 
there is also there on other matter, being matter indicating a 
connection in the course of trade between the proprietor or 
registered user and the goods, the removal or obliteration, 
whether wholly or partly, of the trade mark unless that other 
matter is wholly removed or obliterated; 
(d) in a case in which the trade mark is upon the goods, the 
application of any other trade mark to the goods; 
( e) in a case in which the trade mark is upon the goods, the 
addition to the goods of any other matter in writing that is 
likely to injure the reputation of the trade mark. 
(3) In this section references in relation to any goods to the 
proprietor, to a registered user, and to the registration, of a trade 
mark shall be construed, respectively, as references to the proprietor 
in whose name the trade mark is registered, to a registered user who 
is registered, and to the registration of the trade mark, in respect of 
those goods, and the expression "upon" includes in relation to any 
goods a reference to physical relation thereto. 
9. Nothing in this Act shall entitle the proprietor or a registered 
user of a registered trade mark to interfere with or restrain the use 
by any person of a trade mark identical with or nearly resembling 
it in relation to goods in relation to which that person or a pre­
decessor in title of his has continuously used that trade mark from 
a date anterior-Saving for

(a) to the use of the first-mentioned trade mark in relation to 
those goods by the proprietor or a predecessor in title of his; or 
(b) to the registration of the first-mentioned trade mark in 
respect of those goods in the name of the proprietor or a pre­
decessor in title of his ; 
whichever is the earlier, or to object (on such use being proved) to 
that person being put on the register for that identical or nearly 
resembling trade mark in respect of those goods under section 14(2). 
10. No registration of a trade mark shall interfere with-
(a) any bonafide use by a person of his own name or of the 
name of his place of business, or of the name, or of the name 
of the place of business, of any of his predecessors in business; 
or 
(b) the use by any person of any bona fide description of 
the character or quality of his goods, not being a description 
that would be likely to be taken as importing any such reference 
as is m~ntioned in section 6(1)(b), or section 39(3)(b). 
Registrability and Validity of Registration 
11. (1) In order for a trade mark (other than a certification trade 
mark) to be registrable in Part A of the register, it must contain or 
consist of at least one of the following essential particulars: 
(a) the name of a company, individual, or firm, represented 
in a special or particular manner; 
(b) the signature of the applicant for registration or some 
predecessor in his business; . 
(c) an invented word or invented words; 
(d) a word or words having no direct reference to the charac­
ter or quality of the goods, and not being according to its 
ordinary signification a geographical name or a surname; 
(e) any other distinctive mark, but a name, signature, or 
word or words, other than such as fall within the descriptions 
in the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d), shall not be 
registrable under the provisions of this paragraph except 
upon evidence of its distinctiveness. 
(2) For the purposes of this section "distinctive" means 
adapted, in relation to the goods in respect of which a trade mark is 
registered or proposed to be registered, to distinguish goods with 
which the proprietor of the trade mark is or may be connected in the 
course of trade from goods in the case of which no such connection 
subsists, either generally or, where the trade mark is registered or 
proposed to be registered subject to limitations, in relation to use 
within the extent of the registration. 
(3) In determining whether a trade mark is adapted to dis­
tinguish as aforesaid the tribunal may have regard to the extent to 
which-
(a) the trade mark is inherently adapted to distinguish as 
aforesaid; and 
(b) by reason of the use of the trade mark or of any other 
circumstances, the trade mark is in fact adapted to distinguish 
as aforesaid. IP/N/1/GUY/TII

connected in the course of trade from goods in the case of which no 
such connection subsists, either generally or, where the trade mark 
is registered or proposed to be registered subject to limitations, in 
relation to use within the extent of the registration. 
(2) In determining whether a trade mark is capable of distin­
guishing as aforesaid the tribunal may have regard to the extent to 
which-
(a) the trade mark is inherently capable of distinguishing 
as aforesaid; and 
(b) by reason of the use of the trade mark or of any other 
circumstances, the trade mark is in fact capable of distinguish­
ing as aforesaid. 
(3) A trade mark may be registered in Part B notwithstanding 
any registration in Part A in the name of the same proprietor of the 
same trade mark or any part or parts thereof. 
13. It shall not be lawful to register as a trade mark or part of a 
trade mark any matter the use of which would, by reason of its being 
likely to deceive or cause confusion or otherwise, be disentitled to 
protection in a court of justice, or would be contrary to law or 
morality, or any scandalous design. 
14. (1) Subject to subsection (2), no trade mark shall be registered 
in respect of any goods or description of goods that is identical with 
a trade mark belonging to a different proprietor and already on the 
register in respect of the same goods or description of goods, or that 
so nearly resembles such a trade mark as to be likely to deceive or 
cause confusion. 
(2) In case of honest concurrent use, or of other special cir­
cumstances which in the opinion of the Court or the Registrar make 
it proper so to do, the Court or the Registrar may permit the registra­
tion of trade marks that are identical or nearly resemble each other 
in respect of the same goods or description of goods by more than 
one proprietor subject to such conditions and limitations, if any, as 
the Court or the Registrar, as the case may be, may think it right to 
impose. 
(3) Where separate applications are made by different persons 
to be registered as proprietors respectively of trade marks that are 
identical or nearly resemble each other, in respect of the same goods 
or description of goods, the Registrar may refuse to register any of 
them until their rights have been determined by the Court, or have 
been settled by agreement in a manner approved by him or, on an 
appeal by the Court. 
15. (1) In all legal proceedings relating to a trade mark registered 
in Part A of the register (including applications under section 34) 
the original registration in Part A of the register of the trade mark 
shall, after the expiration of seven years from the date of that regis­
tration, be taken to be valid in all respects, unless-
(a) that registration was obtained by fraud; or 
(b) the trade mark offends against section 13. IP/N/lIGUY ITIl 
Page 13 
(2) Nothing in section 7(1) shall be construed as making ap­
plicable to a trade mark, as being a trade mark registered in Part B 
of the register, the foregoing provisions of this section relating to a 
trade mark registered in Part A of the register. 
16. If a trade mark-
(a) contains any part not separately registered by the pro­
prietor as a trade mark; or Registration 
subject to 
disclaimer. 
(b) contains matter common to the trade or otherwise of 
a non-distinctive character, 
the Registrar or the Court, in deciding whether the trade mark shall 
be entered or shall remain on the register, may require, as a con­
dition of its being on the register-
(i) that the proprietor shall disclaim any right to the ex­
clusive use of any part of the trade mark, or to the 
exclusive use of all or any portion of any such matter 
as aforesaid, to the exclusive use of which the tribunal 
holds him not to be entitled; or 
(ii) that the proprietor shall make such other disclaimer 
as the tribunal may consider necessary for the purpose of 
defining his rights under the registration: 
Provided that no disclaimer on the register shall affect any rights 
of the proprietor of a trade mark except such as arise out of the 
registration of the trade mark in respect of which the disclaimer 
is made. 
17. (1) The registration of a trade mark shall not be deemed to 
have become invalid by reason only of any use, after the date of the 
registration, of a word or words which the trade mark contains, or 
of which it consists, as the name or description of an article or 
substance: 
Provided that, if it is proved either-
(a) that there is a well-known and established use of the 
word or words as the name or description of the article or 
substance by a person or persons carrying on a trade therein, 
not being used in relation to goods connected in the course of 
trade with the proprietor or a registered user of the trade 
mark or (in the case of a certification trade mark) goods 
certified by the proprietor; or 
(b) that the article or substance was formerly manufactured 
under a patent (being a patent in force on, or granted after, 
the 22nd December, 1928), that a period of two years or 
more after the cesser of the patent has elapsed, and that the 
word or words is or are the only practicable name or descrip­
tion of the article or substance, 
the next succeeding subsection shall have effect. 
(2) Where the facts mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of the 
proviso to the foregoing subsection are proved with respect to any 
word or words, then-
(a) if the trade mark consists solely of that word or those 
words, the registration of the trade mark, so far as regards 
registration in respect of the article or substance in question 
or of any goods of the same description, shall be deemed for 
the purposes of section 34 to be an entry wrongly remaining 
on the register; Words used 
as name or 
description 
of an article 
or substance. IP/N/1/GUY/T/1 
Page 14 
(b) if the trade mark contains that word or those words 
and other matter, the Court or the Registrar, in deciding 
whether the trade mark shall remain on the register, so far 
as regards registration in respect of the article or substance 
in question and of any goods of the same description, may in 
case of a decision in favour of its remaining on the register 
require as a condition thereof that the proprietor shall dis­
claim any right to the exclusive use in relation to that article 
or substance and any goods of the same description of that

distinguished from a mixture, shall be registered as a trade mark in 
respect of a chemical substance or preparation, and any such regis­

cause, or an entry wrongly remaining on the register, as the circum­
stances may require: 
Provided that the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall 
not have effect in relation to a word which is used to denote only a 
brand or make of the element or compound as made by the pro­
prietor or a registered user of the trade mark, as distinguished from 
the element or compound as made by others, and in association with 
a suitable name or description open to the public use.

colour, it shall be deemed to be registered for all colours.

always to have been, assignable and transmissible in respect either 
of all the goods in respect of which it is registered, or was registered, 
as the case may be, or of some (but not all) of those goods. 
(3) The provisions of the two foregoing subsections shall have 
effect in the case of an unregistered trade mark used in relation to 
any goods as they have effect in the case of a registered trade mark 
registered in respect of any goods, if at the time of the assignment 
or transmission of the unregistered trade mark it is or was used in 
the same business as a registered trade mark, and if it is or was 
assigned or transmitted at the same time and to the same person as 
that registered trade mark and in respect of goods all of which are 
goods in relation to which the unregistered trade mark is or was 
used in that business and in respect of which that registered trade 
mark is or was assigned or transmitted. 
(4) Notwithstanding l.nything in the foregoing subsections, a 
trade mark shall not be, or be deemed to have been, assignable or 
transmissible in a case in which as a result of an assignment or trans­
mission there would in the circumstances subsist, or have subsisted, 
exclusive rights in more than one of the persons concerned to the 
use, in relation to the same goods or description of goods, of trade 
marks nearly resembling each other or of identical trade marks, if, 
having regard to the similarity of the goods and of the trade marks, 
the use of the trade marks in exercise of those rights would be, or 
have been, likely to deceive or cause confusion: 
Provided that, where a trade mark is, or has been, assigned or 
transmitted in such a case as aforesaid, the assignment or transmis­
sion shall not be deemed to be, or to have been, invalid under this 
subsection if the exclusive rights subsisting as a result thereof in the 
persons concerned respectively are, or were, having regard to limita­
tions imposed thereon, such as not to be exercisable by two or more 
of those persons in relation to goods to be sold, or otherwise traded 
in, within Guyana (otherwise than for export therefrom) or in rela­
tion to goods to be exported to the same market outside Guyana. IP/NIlIGUY/TIl

to assign it in respect of any goods in respect of which it is registered 
may submit to the Registrar in the prescribed manner a statement of 
case setting out the circumstances, and the Registrar may issue to 
him a certificate stating whether, having regard to the similarity of 
the goods and of the trade marks referred to in the case, the pro­
posed assignment of the first-mentioned trade mark would or would 
not be invalid under the last foregoing subsection, and a certificate 
so issued shall, subject to the provisions of this section as to appeal 
and unless it is shown that the certificate was obtained by fraud or 
misrepresentation, be conclusive as to the validity or invalidity under 
the last foregoing subsection of the assignment in so far as such 
validity or invalidity depends upon the facts set out in the case, but, 
as regards a certificate in favour of validity, only if application for 
the registration under section 27 of the title of the person becoming 
entitled is made within six months from the date on which the cer­
tificate is issued. 
(6) Notwithstanding anything in subsections (1) to (3) (in­
clusive), a trade mark shall not, on or after the commencement of 
this Act, be assignable or transmissible in a case in which as a result 
of an assignment or transmission thereof there would in the cir­
cumstances subsist, whether under the common law or by registra­
tion, an exclusive right in one of the persons concerned to the use of 
the trade mark limited to use in relation to goods to be sold, or 
otherwise traded in, in a place or places in Guyana, and an exclusive 
right in another of those persons to the use of a trade mark nearly 
resembling the first-mentioned trade mark or of an identical trade 
mark in relation to the same goods or des<;ription of goods limited to 
use in relation to goods to be sold, or otherwise traded in, in another 
place or other places in Guyana: 
Provided that, on application in the prescribed manner by the 
proprietor of a trade mark who proposes to assign it, or of a person 
who claims that a trade mark has been transmitted to him or to a 
predecessor in title of his on or after the commencement of this 
Act, in any such case, the Registrar, if he is satisfied that in all the 
circumstances the use of the trade marks in exercise of the said rights 
would not be contrary to the public interest, may approve the assign­
ment or transmission, and an assignment or transmission so approved 
shall not be deemed to be, or to have been, invalid under this sub­
section or under subsection (4), so, however, that in the case of a 
registered trade mark this provision shall not have effect unless 
application for the registration under section 27 of the title of the 
person becoming entitled is made within six months from the date 
on which the approval is given or, in the case of a transmission, was 
made before that date. 
(7) Where an assignment in respect of any goods of a trade 
-mark that is at the time of the assignment used in a business in those 
goods is made, on or after the commencement of this Act, otherwise 
than in connection with the goodwill of that business, the assign­
ment shall not take effect until the following requirements have been 
satisfied, that is to say, the assignee must, not later than the expira­
tion of six months from the date on which the assignment is made 
or within such extended period, if any, as the Registrar may allow, 
apply to him for directions with respect to the advertisement of the 
assignment, and must advertise it in such form and manner and 
within such period as the Registrar may direct.

were used by another person in relation to any of the goods in 
respect of which it is registered, and may amend the register accord­
ingly. 
Any decision of the Registrar under this subsection shall be sub­

it should be used in relation to those goods by him, and that 
there has in fact been no bona fide use of the trade mark in 
relation to those goods by any proprietor thereof for the time 
being up to the date one month before the date of the applica­
tion; or 
(b) that up to the date one month before the date of the 
application a continuous period of five years or longer 
elapsed during which the trade mark was a registered trade 
mark and during which there was no bona fide use thereof in 
relation to those goods by any proprietor thereof for the time 
being: 
Provided that (except where the applicant has been permitted 
under section 14(2) to register an identical or nearly resembling trade 
mark in respect of the goods in question or where the tribunal i& 'of 
opinion that he might properly be permitted so to register sucp. a 
trade mark) the tribunal may refuse an application made uJ;lder

has been, before the relevant date or during the relevant period, as 
the case may be, bona fide use of the trade mark by any proprietor 
thereof for the time being in relation to goods of the same descrip­
tion, being goods in respect of which the trade mark is registered. 
(2) Where in relation to any goods in respect of which a trade 
mark is registered-
(a) the matters referred to in paragraph (b) of the foregoing 
subsection are shown so far as regards non-use of the trade mark 
in relation to goods to be sold, or otherwise traded in, in a 
particular place in Guyana (otherwise than for export from 
Guyana), or in relation to goods to be exported to a particu­
lar market outside Guyana; and 
(b) a person has been permitted under section 14(2) to 
register an identical or nearly resembling trade mark in 
respect of those goods under a registration extending to use 
in relation to goods to be sold, or otherwise traded in, in that 
place (otherwise than for export from Guyana), or in relation 
to goods to be exported to that market, or the tribunal is of 
the opinion that he might properly be permitted so to register 
such a trade mark,

applicant and subject to the provisions of section 64, to the Registrar, 
the tribunal may impose on the registration of the first-mentioned 
trade mark such limitations as the tribunal thinks proper for securing 
that that registration shall cease to extend to such use as last afore­
said.

of subsection (l)(b), or for the purposes of subsection (2), on any 
non-use of a trade mark that is shown to have been due to special

invented words has become so well known as respects any goods in 
respect of which it is registered and in relation to which it has been 
used that the use thereof in relation to other goods would be likely 
to be taken as indicating a connection in the course of trade between 
those goods and a person entitled to use the trade mark in relation 
to the first-mentioned goods, then, notwithstanding that the proprie­
tor registered in respect of the first-mentioned goods does not use or 
propose to use the trade mark in relation to those other goods and 
notwithstanding anything in the last foregoing section, the trade 
mark may, on the application in the prescribed manner of the pro­
prietor registered in respect of the first-mentioned goods, be registered 
in his name in respect of those other goods as a defensive trade mark 
and, while so registered, shall not be liable to be taken off the 
register in respect of those goods under the last foregoing section. 
(2) The registered proprietor of a trade mark may apply for 
the registration thereof in respect of any goods as a defensive trade 
mark notwithstanding that it is already registered in his name in 
respect of those goods otherwise than as a defensive trade mark, or 
may apply for the registration thereof in respect of any goods other­
wise than as a defensive trade mark notwithstanding that it is 
already registered in his name in respect of those goods as a defensive 
trade mark, in lieu in each case of the existing registration. 
(3) A trade mark registered as a defensive trade mark and 
that trade mark as otherwise registered in the name of the same 
proprietor shall, notwithstanding that the respective registrations 
are in respect of different goods, be deemed to be, and shall be 
registered as, associated trade marks. 
(4) On application by any person aggrieved to the Court or, 
at the option of the applicant and subject to section 64, to the 
Registrar, the registration of a trade mark as a defensive trade mark 
may be cancelled on the ground that the requirements of subsection 
(1) are no longer satisfied in respect of any goods in respect of which 
the trade mark is registered in the name of the same proprietor 
otherwise than as a defensive trade mark, or may be cancelled as 
respects any goods in respect of which it is registered as a defensive 
trade mark on the ground that there is no longer any likelihood that 
the use of the trade mark in relation to those goods would be taken 
as giving the indication mentioned in subsection (1). 
(5) The Registrar may at any time cancel the registration as a 
defensive trade mark of a trade mark of which there is no longer 
any registration in the name of the same proprietor otherwise than 
as a defensive trade mark. 
(6) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this section, 
this Act shall apply in respect of the registration of trade marks 
as defensive trademarks and of trade marks so registered as they 
apply in other cases.

with any conditions or restrictions to which his registration is sub­
ject, is in this Act referred to as the "permitted use" thereof. 
(2) The permitted use of a trade mark shall be deemed to be

a person other than the proprietor, for the purposes of section 28 
and for any other purpose for which such use is material under this 
Act or at common law. 
(3) Subject to any agreement subsisting between the parties, 
a registered user of a trade mark shall be entitled to call upon the 
proprietor thereof to take proceedings to prevent infringement 
thereof, and~ if the proprietor refuses or neglects to do so within 
two months after being so called upon, the registered user may 
institute proceedings for infringement in his own name as if he were 
the proprietor, making the proprietor a defendant. 
A proprietor so added as defendant shall not be liable for any 
costs unless he enters an appearance and takes part in the proceedings.

behalf and approved by the Registrar-

ceeding. 
62. The Court, in dealing with any question of the rectification of 
the register (including all applications under section 34), shall have 
power to review any decision of the Registrar relating to the entry 
in question or the correction sought to be made. 
63. In any appeal from a decision of the Registrar to the Court 
under this Act, the Court shall have and exercise the same discre­

tion to evidence by declaration. Any such statutory declaration may 
in the case of appeal be used before the Court in lieu of evidence by 
affidavit, but if so used shall have all the incidents and consequences

shall, in respect of requiring the attendance of witnesses and taking 
evidence on oath, be in the same position in all respects as the Court.

(a) with respect to a mark not being a registered trade mark,

ence is to registration as a trade mark under the law of a 
country outside Guyana, being a country under the law of

Miscellaneous 
70. The use of a registered trade mark in relation to goods be­
tween which and the person using it any form of connection in the 
course of trade subsists shall not be deemed to be likely to cause 
deception or confusion on the ground only that the trade mark has 
been, or is, used in relation to goods between which and that person 
or a predecessor in title of his a different form of connection in the 
course of trade subsisted or subsists. 
71. Where the relations between two or more persons interested 
in a trade mark are such that no one of them is entitled as between 
himself and the other or others of them to use it except-
(a) on behalf of both or all of them; or 
(b) in relation to an article with which both or all of them are 
connected in the course of trade, 
those persons may be registered as joint proprietors of the trade 
mark, and this Act shall have effect in relation to any rights to the 
use of the trade mark vested in those persons as if those rights had 
been vested in a single person. 
Subject as aforesaid, nothing in this Act shall authorise the regis­
tration of two or more persons who use a trade mark independently, 
or propose so to use it, as joint proprietors thereof. IPINIlIGUY/TIl

Page 36 
(4) An applicant for the registration of a mark under the said 
section 39 shall transmit to the Registrar draft regulations for govern­
ing the use thereof at such time before the decision of the Registrar

sider the draft, and the Registrar shall report thereon to the Minister. 
(5) When authorisation to proceed with an application has

(c) whether in all the circumstances the registration appliep 
for would be to the public advantage;

regulations, which he thinks requisite having regard to any of 
the matters aforesaid; 
but, except in the case of a direction for acceptance and approval 
without modification and unconditionally, the Minister shall not 
decide the matter without giving to the applicant an opportunity of 
being heard:

fication is thereafter made in the application or in the draft regula­
tions.

visions of section 20(2) to (11) (inclusive) shall have effect in 
relation to the registration of the mark as if the application had 
been an application under section 19 of this Act:

vertisement any person gives notice to him of opposition to the 
application, the Minister shall not decide the matter without giving 
the parties an opportunity of being heard. 
4. (1) The Minister may, on the application in the prescribed 
manner of any person aggrieved, or on the application of the Regis­
trar, make such order as he thinks fit for expunging or varying any 
entry in the register relating to a certification trade mark, or for 
varying the deposited regulations, on the ground-
(a) that the proprietor is no longer competent, in the case of 
any of the goods in respect of which the trade mark is registered, 
to certify those goods; 
(b) that the proprietor has failed to observe a provision of the 
deposited regulations to be observed on his part; 
(c) that it is no longer to the public advantage that the trade 
mark should be registered; or 
(d) that it is requisite for the public advantage that, if the 
trade mark remains registered, the regulations should be 
varied, 
and neither the Court nor the Registrar shall have any jurisdiction to 
make an order under section 34 of this Act on any of those grounds. 
(2) The Registrar shall rectify the register and the deposited 
regulations in such manner as may be requisite for giving effect to 
an order made under the foregoing subparagraph.

party on an appeal to him against a refusal of the proprietor of a 
certification trade mark to certify goods or to authorise the use of 
the trade mark.

6. Where the specification of a registered trade mark is founded on 
the Third Schedule the registered proprietor may apply to the 
Registrar on Form 44 for the conversion of that specification so that 
it may be founded on the Fourth Schedule, whether with or without 
the striking-out of goods therefrom, but so that the registration re­
tains its original date. Thereupon the Registrar in accordance with 
section 38(3) shall notify in writing to the registered proprietor a 
proposal showing the form which, in the Registrar's view, the 
amendment of the register should take. Two or more registrations of a 
trade mark in respect of goods falling within the same class of the 
Fourth Schedule, having the same date of registration, may be 
amalgamated upon conversion in accordance with this rule. Application

and by a statement in duplicate showing how the proposed conversion 
would be contrary to section 38(2). The Registrar shall forthwith send 
the duplicate copies to the registered proprietor who may, within one 
month from the receipt of such duplicates, send to the Registrar a 
counter-statement setting out fully the grounds on which the opposi­
tion is contested and if the registered proprietor does so he shall de­
liver to the opponent a copy thereof. The Registrar may thereupon 
require or admit evidence directed to the questions in issue, and if so 
desired by either party he shall, before deciding the matter, give the 
parties an opportunity of being heard thereon. Advertisement

opposed the opposition has been determined and a conversion 
allowed, the Registrar shall make all the entries in the register 
necessary to give effect to the conversion in accordance with the 
proposal as advertised, or the proposal as amended after opposition 
or appeal thereon and published subsequently in the Gazette, and 
shall enter in the register the date when such entries were made. The 
expression "the expiration of the last registration" shall have regard 
to the same date in the case of all the resulting entries for the purpose 
of determining the next renewal thereof in accordance with section 22 
as it had with regard to the registration before conversion.

made, amongst the registered marks and pending applications, for the 
purpose of ascertaining whether there are on record in respect of the

mark applied for, or so nearly resembling it as to render the mark 
applied for likely to deceive or cause confusion, and the Registrar 
may cause the search to be renewed at any time before the acceptance

ments, disclaimer, modifications or limitations as he may think right 
to impose.

claimer, modifications, or limitations he shall within one month from 
the date of the communication apply for a hearing or communicate 
his considered objections in writing, and if he does not do so he shall 
be deemed to have withdrawn his application. If the applicant does 
not object to such conditions, amendments, disclaimer, modifications 
or limitations, he shall forthwith notify the Registrar in writing, and

by the applicant or some other person approved for the purpose by 
the Registrar. The applicant may send with this declaration, or 
subsequently, such other evidence as he may desire to furnish, 
whether after request made by the Registrar or otherwise, and the 
Registrar shall consider the whole of the evidence before deciding on

tions as they apply to the applications for the registration of ordinary 
trade marks. Application
