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) After a search and upon consideration of the application and any evidence of use or distinctiveness or of any other matter which the applicant may be required to furnish, the registrar may— (a) accept the application absolutely; (b) object to the application; (c) accept the application subject to such conditions, amendments, disclaimer, modifications or limitations as he or she may think right to impose. (4) If the registrar objects to the application, the registrar shall inform the applicant of the objections in writing, and unless within one month the applicant applies for a hearing or makes a considered reply in writing to those objections, the applicant shall be deemed to have withdrawn the application. 2002
