TRADE MARKS REGULATIONS, 1970 (L.I. 667)
(3) All representations of marks must be of a durable nature.
(4) Every application to register a trade mark shall be accompanied by three
additional representations of the mark, which shall correspond exactly with the
representation on the application. If the mark is to be registered in more than one
class, then two additional representations for each class after the first shall be
supplied.
(5) The Registrar, if dissatisfied with any representation of a mark, may at any time
require another representation satisfactory to him to be substituted before
proceeding with the application.
(6) Where the name or representation of any person appears on a trade mark, the
Registrar may, before proceeding with the application to register the mark, require to
be given the consent of that person, or, if he is recently dead, of his legal
representatives, and in default of such consent he may refuse to proceed with the
application.
Regulation 3—Series of Trade Marks.
Where application is made to register a series of trade marks under section 21 (3) of
the Act, a representation of each trade mark of the series shall be included in the
application which shall be accompanied by three additional representations of each
trade mark in the series.
Regulation 4—Translation.
(1) Where a trade mark contains a word or words in characters other than Roman,
there shall be endorsed on the application and on each representation other than the
representation affixed to the application, a translation of such word or words signed
by the applicant or his agent.
(2) Where a trade mark contains a word or words in a language other than English,
the Registrar may ask for an exact translation and, if he so requires the translation
shall be endorsed and signed as aforesaid.
Regulation 5—Registrar's Search.
(1) Upon receipt of an application to register a trade mark in respect of any goods
the Registrar shall cause a search to be made amongst the registered marks and
pending applications, to ascertain whether there are on record in respect of the same
goods or description of goods any marks identical with the mark applied for, or so
nearly resembling it as to render the mark applied for likely to deceive or cause
confusion.
(2) The Registrar may cause the search to be renewed at any time b-fore
acceptance of the application, but shall not be bound to do so.
