An application for the registration of the same mark in different classes shall be treated as a separate and distinct application, and in all cases where a trademark 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 taken to be a separate registration for all the purposes of the Act.
21. Series of trademarks.
Where an application is made for the registration of a series of trademarks under section 30(1) of the Act, a representation of each trademark of the series shall be included in the application form in the manner prescribed in regulation 18, in duplicate, if any, and in each of the accompanying Form TM 3.

Procedure on receipt of application for registration of a trademark
23. Search by registrar.
(1) Upon receipt of an application for the registration of a trademark in respect of any goods or services, the registrar shall cause a search to be made, among 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 to the mark applied for, or so nearly resembling it as to render the mark applied for likely to deceive or cause confusion.
(2) The registrar may cause the search under sub regulation (1) to be renewed at any time before the acceptance of the application.

(3) In a case where the registrar makes any requirements to which the applicant does not object, the applicant shall comply with the requirements before the registrar issues the statement in writing.
(4) The date when the statement is sent to the applicant shall be taken to be the date of the registrar’s decision for the purposes of appeal.
(5) The registrar may call on an applicant to insert in an application such disclaimer as the registrar may think fit, in order that the public generally may understand what the applicant’s rights, shall be if the mark is registered.

26. Publication of series of trade marks.
Where an application relates to a series of trademarks differing from one another in respect of the particulars mentioned in section 30(1) of the Act, the registrar may, if he or she thinks fit, insert with the advertisement of the application a statement of the manner in which the several trademarks differ from one another.
27. Publications and advertisements under sections 12 and 91 of the Act.
