Representation of Marks
Marks published in the Journal and reflected on the certificates of registration appear
exactly as represented on the application forms. Applicants and agents are reminded to
provide clear representations of marks on the application forms. The marks should also be
of reasonably large size (but not larger than A4) to ensure that all the features are clearly
shown.
Series Clause
For applications for registration published in the Gazette on or after 15 January 1999 for
opposition purposes, the series clause should read as follows:
"Application for a series of _____ (number) marks."
Service of Documents in Opposition, Revocation, Invalidation and Rectification
Proceedings
When filing notices of opposition, counter-statements and applications for revocation,
invalidation or rectification with the Registrar, a copy of the same must be served on the
relevant party or parties concerned. Please refer to Rules 29, 30, 31, 32, 56, 57, 58, 65, 66
and 66A of the Trade Marks Rules as amended by the Trade Marks (Amendment) Rules
2000.
The requirement of service of evidence on the relevant party or parties concerned remains
unchanged. Please refer to Rules 32, 33, 34, 56, 59 and 66A.
It would be greatly appreciated if trade marks agents filing the aforesaid documents with the
Registrar could indicate in their covering letters that they have served the necessary on the
relevant party or parties concerned in compliance with the Rules.
