RE-CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS OF OLD REGISTRATIONS
6. Where the specification of a registered trade mark is founded on the Third Schedule the registered proprietor may apply to the Registrar on Form 44 for the conversion of that specification so that it may be founded on the Fourth Schedule, whether with or without the striking-out of goods therefrom, but so that the registration re- tains its original date. Thereupon the Registrar in accordance with section 38(3) shall notify in writing to the registered proprietor a proposal showing the form which, in the Registrar's view, the amendment of the register should take. Two or more registrations of a trade mark in respect of goods falling within the same class of the Fourth Schedule, having the same date of registration, may be amalgamated upon conversion in accordance with this rule.

The Registrar shall forthwith send the duplicate copies to the registered proprietor who may, within one month from the receipt of such duplicates, send to the Registrar a counter-statement setting out fully the grounds on which the opposi- tion is contested and if the registered proprietor does so he shall de- liver to the opponent a copy thereof.

PROCEDURE ON RECEIPT OF APPLICATION FOR
REGISTRATION OF A TRADE MARK
31. Upon receipt of an application for the registration of a trade mark in respect of any goods the Registrar shall cause a search 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 description of goods 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 search to be renewed at any time before the acceptance of the application, but shall not be bound to do so.
32. After such search, and consideration of the application, and of any evidence of use or of distinctiveness or of any other matter which· the applicant mayor 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, amend- ments, disclaimer, modifications or limitations as he may think right to impose.
33. 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.
34. 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, dis- claimer, modifications, or limitations 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.
35. (1) The decisio.n of the Registrar, at a hearing as in rule 33 or Decision of rule 34, or without a hearing if the applicant has du1y communicated Registrar. 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 5 require the Registrar to state in writing the grounds of, and the materials used by him in arriving at, his decision.
Authorisation to proceed.
Case; draft regulations.
Directions by the Minister.
(2) In a case where the Registrar makes any requirements to which the applicant does not object, the applicant shall comply there- with 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.
Page 49
36. The Registrar may call on an applicant to insert in his applica- Disclaimer. tion such disclaimer as the Registrar may think fit, in order that the public generally may understand what the applicant's rights, if his mark is registered, will be.

The applicant may send with this declaration, or subsequently, such other evidence as he may desire to furnish, whether after request made by the Registrar or otherwise, and the Registrar shall consider the whole of the evidence before deciding on the application. In all other respects, and where they are appropriate and it is not otherwise stated, these Rules shall apply to such applica- tions as they apply to the applications for the registration of ordinary trade marks.
CERTIFICATION TRADE MARKS

39. (1) These Rules shall apply to such applications as they apply to applications for the registration of ordinary trade marks, except that for references therein to acceptance of an application there shall be substituted references to authorisation to proceed with the applica- tion, and that the applicant shall not be deemed to have abandoned his application if in the circumstances of rule 33 or rule 34 he does not apply for a hearing or reply in writing.
(2) The address of an applicant to register a certification trade mark shall be deemed to be a trade or business address for all the purposes for which such an address is required by these Rules.
40. The applicant shall send to the Registrar with his application or when required by the Registrar a case setting out the grounds on which he relies in support of his application together with draft regulations for governing the use of the mark and Form 34, all being in duplicate. The Registrar may communicate to the applicant any observations he may have to make on the sufficiency of the case or the suitability of the draft regulations and the applicant may modify either of those documents.
41.
