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.
(3) Subject to the provisions of subsections (4) to (6) and of sec
tions twelve and thirteen, the registration of a person as proprietor of
a certification trade mark in respect of any goods shall, if valid, give.
to that person the exclusive right to the use of the trade mark in rela
tion to those goods, and, without prejudice to the generality of the
foregoing words, that right shall be deemed to be infringed by any
person who, not being the proprietor of the trade mark or a person
authorised by him under the regulations in that behalf using it in
accordance therewith, uses a mark identical with it or so nearly
resembling it as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion in the
course of trade in relation to any goods in respect of which it is reg
istered and in such manner as to render the use of the mark likely to
be taken either
(a) as being use as a trade mark; or
(b) in a case in which the use is upon the goods or in physical
relation thereto or in an advertising circular or other adver
tisement issued to the public, as importing a reference to
some person having the right either as proprietor or by his
authorisation under the relevant regulations to use the trade
mark or to goods certified by the proprietor.
(4) The right to the use of a certification trade mark given by reg
istration as aforesaid shall be subject to any conditions or limitations
entered on the register and shall not be deemed to be infringed by the
use of any such mark as aforesaid in any mode, in relation to goods
to be sold or otherwise traded in in any place; in relation to goods to
be exported to any market or in any other circumstances to which,
having regard to any such limitations, the registration does not extend.
(5) The right to the use of a certification trade mark given by reg
istration as aforesaid shall not be deemed to be infringed by the use
of any such mark as aforesaid by any person
