Restriction on registration. (1) The registrar shall not register as a trademark or part of a trademark any matter the use of which would be likely to deceive or would be contrary to law, morality or any scandalous design. (2) The registrar shall not register as a trademark a word commonly used and accepted as a name of a single chemical element or compound, as distinguished from a mixture, relating to goods in respect of a chemical substance or preparation. (3) The registration of any word referred to in subsection (2) in force at the commencement of this Act or any such registration after the commencement of this Act shall, notwithstanding section 18, be taken for the purposes of section 79 to be an entry made in the register without sufficient cause or an entry wrongly remaining on the register as the circumstances may require. (4) This section shall not have effect in relation to a word which is used to denote only a brand or make of the element or compound as made by the owner or a registered user of the trademark, as distinguished from the element or compound as made by others and in association with a suitable name or description open to public use. 21
