14. Name or representation of a person on a trademark. Where the name or representation of a person appears as a trademark, the registrar shall, if he or she requires, before proceeding to register the mark, be furnished with consent from that person or, in the case of a person recently dead, from his or her legal representatives, and in default of that consent the registrar may refuse to register that mark. 15. Name or description of goods or services on a trademark. (1) Where the name or description of any goods or services appears on a trademark, the registrar may refuse to register the mark in respect of any goods or services other than the goods or services so named or described. (2) Where the name or description of any goods or services appears on a trademark, which name or description in use varies, the registrar may permit the registration of the mark for those and other goods or services and in that case the applicant shall state in his or her application that the name or description will be varied when the mark is used upon goods or services covered by the specification other than the named or described goods or services. 16. Preliminary advice by registrar as to distinctiveness. (1) A person who proposes to apply to register a trademark in Part A or Part B of the register in respect of any goods or services, may apply to the registrar in Form TM 28. (2) Where a person makes an application for advice as to whether the trademark appears to the registrar prima facie, to be inherently adapted to distinguish within the meaning of section 9 of the Act, or inherently capable of distinguishing within the meaning of section 10 of the Act, as the case may be, in relation to those goods or services, the application shall be in Form TM 28; and shall be accompanied by duplicate representations. (3) A person shall make a separate application in relation to goods or services comprised within different classes of goods specified in the Third Schedule to these Regulations. 1999
