The fees to be paid in relation to trade or service marks shall be those fees prescribed in the First Schedule of these Regulations.

4. Forms The forms referred to herein those prescribed in the Second Schedule of these

Regulations and forms shall be used in all cases to which they are applicable and may be modified as directed by the Registrar to meet other cases. 5. Re-classification of goods or services

Trade and service marks which have been registered before the commencement of this Act, under existing classifications shall be re-classified, upon applications for renewals under sections 29 and 63 of the Act into the International Classification system. 6. Size, etc., of documents

Subject to any other directions that may be given by the Registrar, all applications, notices, counterstatements, papers having representations affixed, or other documents authorized or required by the Act or these Regulations to be made, left or sent, at or to the office, shall unless the Registrar otherwise directs, be written, type written, lithographed or printed in English or Kiswahili language upon document paper, in dark indelible ink, on one side only on foolscap paper of a size approximately 13 inches by 8 inches, and shall have on the left-hand part thereof a margin of not less than 1½ inches. 7. Signature of documents by partnerships, companies etc.

(1) A document purporting to be signed for or on behalf of partnership shall contain the names of all the partners in full and shall be signed by all the partners or by any qualified partner stating that he signs on behalf of the partnership, or by any other person who satisfies the Registrar that he is authorized to sign the document.

(4) All documents stated in subregulations (2) and (3) shall be sealed. 8. Service of Documents

All applications, notices, statements, papers having representation affixed or other documents authorized or required by the Act or these Regulation to be made, left, sent, or delivered at or to the office, or with or to the Registrar or the Court or any other person may be sent through the post by a prepaid or official paid letter, any application or any document so sent shall be deemed to have been made, left, sent, or delivered at the time when the letter containing the same would be delivered in the ordinary course of post. In proving such delivery or sending, it shall be sufficient to prove that the letter was properly addressed and put into the post. 9. Address

Where any person is by the Act or these Regulations, bound to furnish the Registrar with an address, the address given shall in all cases be as full as possible, for the purpose of enabling any person easily to find the place of the person whose address is given, and shall include a postal address. 10. Address of service

(1) The Registrar may require an applicant, opponent, or a registered proprietor or registered user of a trade or service mark, who does not reside or carry on business within Tanzania to give an address for service within Tanzania and such address may be treated as the actual address of that person for all purposes connected with the matter in question.

(2) Any registered proprietor or registered user of a trade or service mark, or any

person about to be registered as such, may, if he so desires, give upon Form TM/SM 27 an address for service in the register and such address may be treated as the actual address of that person for all purposes connected with the matter in question.

(3) All application on Form TM/SM 27 under this Regulation shall be signed by the applicant for registration or the registered proprietor or registered user, as the case may be, or by an agent expressly authorized for the purposes of such an application, unless in exceptional circumstances the Registrar otherwise allows.

(4) In any case in which no address for service is entered in the register, the Registrar may treat the trade or business address of registered proprietor or registered user as therein entered as his address for service for all purposes connected with the registration.

(5) Any written communication addressed to a party or person as aforesaid at an address given by him, or treated by the Registrar, as his address for service shall be deemed to be properly addressed.

(6) The Registrar, at any time that a doubt arises as to the continued availability of an address for service entered in the register, may request the person for whom it is entered, by letter addressed to his trade or business address in the register to confirm the address for service, and if within three months of making such a request the Registrar receives no confirmation of that address, he may strike it off the register. 11. Agents

(1) Except as otherwise required by these Regulations, any application, request or notice which is required or permitted under the Act or these Regulations to be made or given to the Registrar or the Court, and all other communications between an applicant or a person making such a request or giving such a notice and the Registrar, or the Court, and between the registered proprietor or a registered user of a mark shall be signed, made or given by or through an agent.

(2) Any such applicant, person making request or giving notice, proprietor, or registered user may appoint an agent to act for him in any proceeding or matter before or affecting the Registrar or the Court under the Act and these Regulations by signing and sending to the Registrar or the Court as the case may be, an authority to that effect in the Form TM/SM 1 or in such other written form as the Registrar or the Court may deem sufficient. In case of such appointment, service upon the agent of any document relating to the proceeding or matter shall be deemed to be service upon the person so appointing him, all communications directed to be made to such person in respect of the proceeding or matter may be addressed to such agent, and all attendances upon the Registrar relating thereto may be made by or through such agent. In any particular case the Registrar may require the personal signature or presence of an applicant, opponent proprietor, registered user or other person.

(3) Any person– (a) being of Tanzania nationality; (b) having a domicile or place of business in Tanzania; (c) having obtained an advocate's license by the High Court; or (d) having a business, after the approval by the Registrar of Marks, on successful

passing an examination conducted by the Registrar; or (e) being a member of the Chartered Institute of Trade and Service marks Agents.

(4) There shall be kept by the Registrar of Trade and Service Marks a register to be known as the Register of Trade and Service Marks Agents in which shall be entered the name of each person who is entitled to be registered under subregulation (3) together with his business address, the qualifications and such other particulars as the Registrar may deem fit to include.

(5) A Trade and Service Mark Agent may be removed from the register if– (a) he ceases to be a national of Tanzania; (b) he permanently emigrates from Tanzania; (c) he is removed from the Register of the Advocates of the High Court; (d) he has his business licence cancelled, withdrawn by the relevant authority or

his licence has expired. 12. Registrable trade or service marks

The Registrar may refuse to accept any application for the registration of a mark upon which any of the following appear–

(a) the words "Patent", "Patented", "Registered Design", "Copyright", "Entered at Stationers", "Hall", "To counterfeit this is a forgery" or words to like effect;

(b) representations of the President or any colourable imitations thereof; (c) the words "Red Cross", "Red Crescent" or "Geneva Cross", and

representations of the Geneva and other crosses in red, or of the Swiss Federal cross in white on a red ground or silver on a red ground, or such representations in a similar colour or colours,

where it appears in a mark the registration of which is applied for a representation of a cross in any colour, not being one of those mentioned in the last foregoing subparagraph, the Registrar may require the applicant as a condition of acceptance to undertake not to use the cross device on red, or in white on a red ground or silver on a red ground, or in any similar colour or colours. 13. Armorial ensigns, national flag, etc.

The following features may not appear on a mark the registration of which is applied for–

(a) representations of the armorial bearings of Tanzania or devices so nearly resembling it as to be likely to be mistaken for it;

(b) representations of the national flag of Tanzania; (c) any words such as "the President", "Republic" or "Tanzania" or any letters or

devices if used in such manner as to be likely to lead to persons to think that the applicant either has or recently has had the patronage or authorization from the Government of the Republic of Tanzania, whether or not such may be the case.

14. Arms of cities etc. Where a representation of the armorial bearing, insignia, orders of honour,

decorations or flags of any state, city, borough, town, place, society, body corporate, institution or person appears, the Registrar shall, if he so require, be furnished with a consent to the registration and use of such emblems from such official or other person as appears to the Registrar to be entitled to give consent, and in default of such consent he may refuse to register the mark. 15. Consent on use of personal names

Where the name or representation of any person appears on a mark, the Registrar shall, if he so require, before proceeding to registrar the mark be furnished with consent from him or, in the case of a person recently dead, from his legal representatives, and in default of such consent he may refuse to register the mark. 16. Descriptive marks

(1) Where the name or description of any goods or services appears on a mark the Registrar may refuse to register such mark in respect of any goods or services other than the goods or services so named or described.

(2) Where the name or description of any goods or services appears on a mark, which name or description in use varies, the Registrar may permit the registration of the

mark for those and other goods or services, and in that case the applicant shall state in his application that the name or description will be varied when the mark is used upon goods covered by the specification other than the named or described goods or services. 17. Application for registration

An application to the Registrar for the registration of a trade or service mark shall be signed by the applicant or his agent and the application shall be made on Form TM/SM 2 together with the prescribed fees. Each application shall be for registration in respect of goods or service in one or more classes of international classification. 18. Priority under the convention

(1) An applicant who claims priority for his application under the provisions of section 22 of the Act shall indicate in his application on form TM/SM 2:

(i) that a priority claim is made under the convention; (ii) the date of the earlier application in the convention country; and (iii) the name of the convention country or; where the earlier application is a

regional or international application, the office with which it was filed. (2) The applicant shall furnish with his application or when requested to do so by

the Registrar, a copy of the earlier application certified as corrected by the office with which it was filed.

(3) Where the earlier application is in a different language from that of the application, the Registrar may require the applicant to furnish him within three months with a translation of the earlier application into the language of the country unless such a translation had already been furnished for another application. 19. Representation of a mark

Every application for the registration of a mark shall contain a durable graphic representation of the mark in the space provided on the application form for that purpose. 20. Additional representation

There shall be sent with every application for registration of a mark six additional representations of such mark on Form TM/SM 3 exactly corresponding to that affixed to the application form and noted with all such particulars as may be required by the Registrar. Such particulars shall, if required, be signed by the applicant or his agent. 21. Registration of same mark in different classes

Application for the registration of the same mark in different classes shall be treated as separate and distinct applications, and in all cases where a mark is registered under the same official number for goods or services in more than one class, the registration in respect of the goods or services included in each separate class shall be deemed to be separate registration for all the purposes of the Act. 22. Representation to be satisfactory

The Registrar, if dissatisfied with any representation of mark, may at any time require another representation satisfactory to him to be submitted before proceeding with the application. 23. Specimens in exceptional cases

Where a drawing or other representation or specimen cannot be given in the manner aforesaid, a specimen or copy of the mark may be sent either of full size or on a reduced scale, and in such form as the Registrar may think most convenient. 24. Series of marks

Where an application is made for the registration of a series of marks under subsection (2) of section 25 a representation of each mark or the series shall be included, all as aforesaid, in the application form, and in each of the accompanying

Forms TM/SM 3. 25. Transliteration and translation

(1) Where a mark contains a word or words in characters other than Roman, there shall, unless the Registrar otherwise directs, be endorsed on the application form, and on each of the accompanying Forms TM/SM 3, a sufficient transliteration and every such endorsement shall state the language to which the word belongs and be signed by the applicant or his agent.

(2) Where a mark contains a word or words in a language other than English or Kiswahili, the Registrar may ask for an exact translation thereof together with the name of the language, and such translation and name, if he so requires, shall be endorsed and signed as aforesaid.

PROCEDURE ON RECEIPT OF APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION OF A TRADE OR SERVICE MARK (regs 26-64)

26. Examination Upon receipt of an application for the registration of a mark in respect of any

goods or services the Registrar shall cause an examination to be made, amongst the registered marks and pending applications, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there are on record in respect of the same goods or services or description of goods or services any marks identical with the mark applied for, or so nearly resembling it as to render the mark applied for likely to deceive or cause confusion, and the Registrar may cause the examination to be renewed at any time before the acceptance of the application, but shall not be bound to do so. 27. Acceptance

After such an examination, and consideration of the application, and of any evidence of use or of distinctiveness or of any other matter which the applicant may or may be required to furnish, the Registrar may accept the application absolutely, or he may object to it, or he may express his willingness to accept it subject to such conditions, amendments, disclaimer, modifications or limitations as he may think right to impose. 28. Objections

If the Registrar objects to the application, he shall inform the applicant of his objections in writing, and unless within one month the applicant applies for a hearing or makes a considered reply in writing to those objections he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application. 29. The Registrar's conditional acceptance and hearing

If the Registrar is willing to accept the application subject to any conditions, amendments, disclaimer, modifications or limitations, he shall communicate such willingness to the applicant in writing, and, if the applicant objects to such conditions, amendments, disclaimer, modifications of limitation, he shall, within one month from the date of the communication, apply for a hearing or communicate his considered objections in writing, and if he does not do so he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application. If the applicant does not object to such conditions, amendments, disclaimer, modifications or limitations, he shall forthwith notify the Registrar in writing and alter his application accordingly. 30. Decision of the Registrar

(1) The decision of the Registrar at a hearing as in regulation 31 or regulation 32, or without a hearing if the applicant has duly communicated his considered objections or considered reply, in writing, and has stated that he does not desire to be heard, shall be communicated to the applicant in writing, and if the applicant objects to such decision he may within one month by applying upon Form TM/SM 4 require the Registrar to state in

writing the grounds of, and the materials used by him in arriving at his decision. (2) Subject to subregulation (1) in a case where the Registrar makes any

requirements to which the applicant does not object, the applicant shall comply therewith before the Registrar issues such statement in writing. The date when such statement is sent to the applicant shall be deemed to be the date of the Registrar's decision for the purpose of appeal. 31. Disclaimer

The Registrar may call upon the applicant to insert in his application such disclaimer as the Registrar may think fit, for the public to understand what are the applicant's rights, if his mark is registered. 32. Advertisement of an application

When the Registrar has accepted an application for the registration of a mark or of a series of marks absolutely or has accepted it subject to conditions or limitations to which the applicant does not object, he shall promptly, advertise it in the Trade and Service Marks Journal. 33. Advertisements of corrections and rectifications

The Registrar shall in like manner promptly advertise any rectifications and corrections of marks made under sections 36 and 39 of the Act. 34. Opposition

Any person may within sixty days from the date of any advertisement in the Trade and Service Marks Journal of an application for registration of a mark give notice on Form TM/SM 5 to the Registrar of opposition to the registration. 35. Notice of opposition

The notice shall include a statement of the grounds upon which the opponent objects to the registration. If registration is opposed on the ground that the mark resembles marks already on the register, the numbers of such marks and the numbers of the Journals in which they have been advertised shall be set out. The notice shall be accompanied by a duplicate which the Registrar shall forthwith send to the applicant. 36. Counter-statement

Within sixty days from the receipt of such duplicate the applicant shall send to the Registrar a counter-statement on Form TM/SM 6 setting out the grounds on which he relies as supporting his application. The applicant shall also set out what facts if any, alleged in the notice of opposition he admits. The counter-statement shall be accompanied by a duplicate. 37. Evidence in support of opposition

Upon receipt of the counter-statement and duplicate the Registrar shall forthwith send the duplicate to the opponent and within sixty days from the receipt of the duplicate the opponent shall leave with the Registrar such evidence by way of statutory declaration, as he may desire to adduce in support of his opposition and shall deliver to the applicant copies thereof. 38. Evidence in support of application

If an opponent leaves no evidence, he shall, unless the Registrar otherwise directs, be deemed to have abandoned his opposition but, if he does leave evidence, then, within sixty days from the receipt of the copies of declarations, the applicant shall leave with the Registrar such evidence by way of statutory declaration as he desires to adduce in support of his application and shall deliver to the opponent copies. 39. Evidence in reply by opponent

Within two months from the receipt by the receipt by the opponent of the copies of the applicant's declarations the opponent may leave with the Registrar evidence by statutory declaration in reply, and shall deliver to the applicant copies. This evidence

shall be confined to matters strictly in reply. 40. Further evidence

No further evidence shall be left on either side but, in any proceedings before the Registrar, he may at any time give leave to either the applicant or the opponent to leave any evidence upon such terms as to costs or otherwise as he may think fit. 41. Exhibits

Where there are exhibits to declarations filed in an opposition, copies or impressions of such exhibits shall be sent to the other party on his request and at his expense, or, if such copies or impressions cannot conveniently be furnished, the original shall be left with the Registrar in order that they may be open to inspection. The original exhibits shall be produced at the hearing unless the Registrar otherwise directs. 42. Hearing

(1) Upon completion of the evidence the Registrar shall give at least one month's notice to the parties of a date when he will hear the arguments in the case. Such appointment shall be for a date at least thirty days after the date of the notice, unless the parties consent to a shorter notice. Within fifteen days from the receipt of the notice any party who intends to appear shall so notify the Registrar on form TM/SM 7. A party who receives notice as aforesaid and who does not, within fifteen days from the receipt thereof, so notify the Registrar on Form TM/SM 7 may be treated as not desiring to be heard and the Registrar may act accordingly.

(2) If the Registrar fails to notify the parties of a date for hearing within three months of the completion of the evidence or fails to issue his decision within three months after the conclusion of the hearing, the opponent or the applicant may, after having given the Registrar one month's written notice, elect to refer the matter to the court for hearing and determination. The Registrar shall then transmit all relevant documents to the court. 43. Extension of time

Where in opposition proceedings any extension of time is granted to any party, the Registrar may thereafter, without giving the said party a hearing, grant any reasonable extension of time to any other party in which to take any subsequent step. 44. Security for costs

Where a party giving notice of opposition or an applicant sending a counter- statement after receipt of a copy of such a notice neither resides nor carries on business in Tanzania the Registrar may require him to give security, for the costs of the proceedings before the Registrar, for such amount as to the Registrar may deem fit. 45. Costs in uncontested case

In the event of an opposition being uncontested by the applicant, the Registrar in deciding whether costs should be awarded to the opponent shall consider whether proceedings might have been avoided if reasonable notice had been given by the opponent to the applicant before the notice of opposition was lodged. 46. Non-completion

Where registration of a mark is not completed within twelve months from the date of the application by reason of default on the part of the applicant, the Registrar shall on Form 01 give notice in writing to the applicant at his trade or business address of the non-completion, but if the applicant has authorized an agent for the purpose of the application he shall instead send the notice to the agent and shall send a duplicate thereof to the applicant. If after thirty days from the date when the notice was sent, or such further time as the Registrar may allow, the registration is not completed, the applicant shall be deemed to be abandoned. 47. Entry in register

As soon as may be after the expiration of sixty days from the date of the advertisement in the Trade and Service Marks Journal of any application for the registration of mark, the Registrar shall, subject to any opposition and the determination thereof, and subject to the provisions of section 28(1), and upon payment of the prescribed fee on Form TM/SM 8 enter the mark in the register. The entry of a mark in register shall give the date of registration, the goods or service in respect of which it is registered together with the particulars of the trade, business, profession, occupation or other description of the proprietor. 48. Associated marks

Where a mark is registered as associated with any other mark or marks the Registrar shall note in the register in connection with the first-mentioned mark the numbers of the marks with which it is associated and shall also note in the register in connection with each of the associated marks the number of the first-mentioned mark as being a mark associated therewith. 49. Death of the applicant before registration

In case of the death of any applicant for the registration of mark after the date of his application, and before the mark applied for has been entered in the register, the Registrar, after the expiration of the prescribed period of advertisement and the determination of any opposition to the application, may, on being satisfied of the applicant's death enter in the register, in place of the name of such deceased applicant the name, address, and description of the person owning the mark, on such ownership being proved to the satisfaction of the Registrar to be the successor. 50. Certificate of registration
