In this case, the application could be divided, with part of the application proceeding to registration in respect of those goods or services which do not face objections, whilst the other part is held up until the objections are settled.

(c)

You cannot divide a registered trade mark.

(d)

If you are dividing a specification of goods or services then the only fee payable is the division fee. If you are dividing a series of marks then the following fees are payable —
