(2) The Registrar shall after receipt of the application for the registration of the trade mark cause a search to be made amongst registered marks and pending applications for the purpose of ascertaining whether there are on record any marks for goods or services which may conflict with the trade mark forming the subject of the application in terms of section 10. (3) If after such search and a consideration of the application the Registrar considers that there is no objection to the mark being registered, he shall accept it absolutely or subject to conditions, modifications or amendments which he shall communicate to the applicant or his agent. (4) If after such search and consideration of the application any objections exist, a statement of those objections shall be sent to the applicant, in writing, and unless within three months of the date of the statement the applicant submits arguments, in writing, or applies for a hearing or an extension of time, the application shall be deemed to have been abandoned. (5) If the Registrar accepts an application subject to any conditions, modifications or amendments, and the applicant objects to such conditions, modifications or amendments, he shall within three months from the date of the notice of conditional acceptance submit arguments in writing or apply for a hearing or for an extension of time. If he does not do so the application shall be deemed to have been abandoned. If the applicant does not object to such conditions, modifications or amendments, he shall within three months so notify the Registrar, in writing, or apply for an extension of time and, if he fails to do so, the application shall be deemed to have been abandoned. 16.
