TRADE MARKS REGULATIONS, 1970 (L.I. 667)
Regulation 58—Certificates by Registrar.
(1) The Registrar may give a certificate, other than a certificate under section 19 (2)
of the Act, as to any entry, matter or thing which he is authorised or required by the
Act or these Regulations to make or do, upon receipt of a request in writing from any
person who, if the Registrar thinks fit so to require, can show an interest in the entry,
matter or thing to his satisfaction.
(2) Except in a case failing under regulation 60 the Registrar shall not be obliged to
include in the certificate a copy of any mark, unless he is supplied by the applicant
with a copy thereof suitable, for the purpose.
Regulation 59—Marks Registered without Limitation of Colour.
Where a mark is registered without limitation of colour the Registrar may grant a
certificate of its registration, for the purpose of obtaining registration abroad, either in
the colour in which it appears upon the register or in any other colour or colours but
in the last-mentioned case the certificate shall be marked: "For use in obtaining
registration abroad only,"
Regulation 60—Certificate for Use in Obtaining Registration Abroad.
(1) Where a certificate of registration of a trade mark is desired for use in obtaining
registration abroad, the Registrar shall include in the certificate a copy of the mark
and may require the applicant for the certificate to supply him with a copy of the mark
suitable for the purpose, and, if the applicant fails to do so, may refuse to issue the
certificate.
(2) The Registrar may state in the certificate such particulars concerning the
registration of the mark as to him may seem fit, and may omit therefrom reference to
any disclaimers appearing in the register; but in the last-mentioned case the
certificate shall be marked: "For use in obtaining registration abroad only."
Regulation 61—Searches and Advice as to Distinctiveness.
(1) Any person may request the Registrar, on the printed Search Form, to cause a
search to be made in respect of specified goods classified in any one class of
Schedule 1, to ascertain whether any mark is on record at the date of the search
which resembles a trade mark of which duplicate representations accompany the
Form.
(2) The Registrar shall cause such a search to be made and the person making the
request to be informed of the result thereof.
(3) Any person who proposes to apply for the registration of a trade mark may apply
to the Registrar on the prescribed form for advice as to whether the trade mark, of
which duplicate representations shall accompany the form, appears to the Registrar
prima facie to be inherently adapted to distinguish within the meaning of section 10
