(3) On renewal, the Registrar shall be required to make any entries or

amendments in the register in order to record changes resulting from a

25. Application for renewal by proprietor

[Sections 11 and 37]

[Sections 39 and 40]

Where a person becomes entitled by assignment or transmission to a

registered trade mark, he may make application to the Registrar on Form

TM6 to register his title and if the application is not made to register

the assignment or transmission within 12 months of its effective date,

a penalty specified in Schedule 1 to these regulations shall be payable

instrument or a copy thereof, if any, under which he claims.

33.

Where in the case of an application on Form TM6 the person applying for

registration of his title does not claim under any document or instrument

which is capable in itself of furnishing proof of his title, he shall,

unless the Registrar otherwise directs, with the application, file a

statement of case setting out the facts upon which he claims to be the

proprietor of the trade mark.

34.

to be registered, he shall cause him to be registered as proprietor of

the trade mark in respect of the relevant goods or services and shall

enter in the register his name, address and particulars of the assignment

or transmission and the effective date of assignment.

Where pursuant to an application under regulation 31 and as the result

of a division and separation of the goods or services or a division and

separation of places or markets, different persons become registered

separately under the same official number as subsequent proprietors of

a trade mark, each of the resulting separate registrations in the name

of those different persons shall be deemed to be a separate registration

for the purposes of the Act and each such registration shall be given

a distinguishing number by the Registrar.

37.

Any person who desires to obtain the Registrar’s certificate under section

39(6) of the Act shall send to the Registrar with his application on Form

TM2 a statement of case in duplicate setting out the circumstances and

18

a copy of any instrument or proposed instrument effecting the assignment

or transmission. The Registrar may call for any evidence that he may consider

necessary and the statement of case, if required, shall be verified by

an affidavit. The Registrar may hear the applicant and any other interested

person. The Registrar shall consider the matter and issue a certificate

thereon or a notification in writing of disapproval thereof, as the case

may be. The Registrar shall bind and seal a copy of the statement of case

to the certificate or notification.

the satisfaction of the Registrar.

20

(4) The endorsement of the hypothecation may be removed from the register

on application to the Registrar on Form TM6, accompanied by such proof

of the termination of the hypothecation as the Registrar may require.
