Trade Marks Act 1995

This section applies if:

immediately before 1 January 1996 an application for the registration of a mark in Part A, B, C or D of the old register (other than an application made under section 39 of the repealed Act) was pending and had not been accepted; and

the application had previously been amended; and

the application as amended did not relate to all of the goods or services specified in the application before its amendment.

For old register see section 6.

For pending see subsection 11(2).

The applicant may, within 6 months after 1 January 1996, apply to the Registrar for the application to be again amended so as to relate to some or all of the goods or services specified in the application before its amendment under the repealed Act, if:

the application is still pending under this Act; and:

it has not been accepted; or

if it has been accepted, the acceptance has not been advertised; and

subsection 43(3) of the repealed Act would apply in relation to a further application for the registration of the mark in respect of the goods or services included from the original application, if that Act were still in force.

For pending see subsection 11(1).

If an application is amended under subsection (2), it must (if necessary) be also amended so as to be in accordance with Part 4.
