CAP. 401]
Trade Marks
(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, asso
ciated trade marks.
(4) On application by any person aggrieved to the High Court or,
at the option of the applicant and subject to the provisions of section
sixty-four, 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 (I) 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 (I).
(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, the
provisions of this Act shall apply in respect of the registration of
trade marks as defensive trade marks and of trade marks so regis
tered as they apply in other cases, and the provisions of section nine
relating to the infringement of a trade mark registered in Part A of the
register shall apply to the infringement of any defensive trade mark
registered in terms of this section if that registration is valid.
