Trade Marks [CAP. 401 3S istic from goods not so certified shall be registrable as a certification trade mark in Part C of the register in respect of those goods in the name, as proprietor thereof, of that person: Provided that a mark shall not be so registrable in the name of a person who carries on a trade in goods of the kind certified. (2) In determining whether a mark is adapted to distinguish as aforesaid, the Registrar, or the High Court in the event of an appeal from a decision of the Registrar, may have regard to the extent to which­ (a) the mark is inherently adapted to distinguish as aforesaid in relation to the goods in question; and (b) by reason of the use of the mark or of any other circum­ stances, the mark is in fact adapted to distinguish as afore­ said in relation to the goods in question.
