application if
more applications accompanied by provisional specifications for
inventions which the applicant believes to be cognate or modifications not cognate
one of another and the Registrar is of the opinion that such inventions
are not cognate or modifications one of another, the Registrar may allow
the complete specification to be divided into such number of complete
specifications as may be necessary to enable the applications to be
