before the registration, a person applied in accordance with the regulations for an extension of the period for filing a component of a notice of opposition to the registration; and
the Registrar failed to take account of the component or application in deciding to register the trade mark; and
the Registrar becomes aware of the failure within 1 month after the notice was filed or the application was made.
