Publication of notice of application and lodging of objections 7. (1) Before an association or institution makes application in terms of section five, it shall at its own expense cause notice of the application to be published in the Gazette and in two newspapers circulating in Zambia. (2) Such notice shall(a) describe in sufficient detail the particulars to be contained in the application; and (b) call upon any person affected or likely to be affected by the grant of the application to lodge in writing with the Board any objection thereto within three months of the date of the publication of such notice in the Gazette. Grant or refusal of application 8. (1) After considering any objections lodged in terms of section seven, and subject to the provisions of subsection (2), the Board shall grant or refuse any application. (2) The Board may refuse an application(a) if the name, uniform or badge so closely resembles a name, uniform or badge registered in terms of this Act as might lead to the belief that the name, uniform or badge which is the subject of the application is the name, uniform or badge so registered; (b) if the uniform is not distinctive in design and colour; (c) if the uniform or badge incorporates in whole or in part any design which has been and remains registered under the provisions of any written law relating to the registration of trade marks unless the owner of such registered design has consented in writing to the registration thereof; or (d) if for any other good and sufficient reason it considers the application should be refused. (3) Any person who is aggrieved by a decision of the Board to grant or refuse any application may, within thirty days of such decision, appeal against that decision to the Minister. On such appeal the Minister shall confirm the decision of the Board or shall give such decision as in his opinion the Board ought to have given, and the decision of the Minister shall for the purposes of this Act be deemed to be the decision of the Board. (4) If the application is granted the Board shall, upon payment of the prescribed fees, cause to be entered in the register(a) the name and address of the applicant association or institution; (b) any special name or designation referred to in paragraph (b) of section five; (c) an exact and precise description of the uniform or badge and a pictorial representation thereof. Publication of registration 9. The Board shall cause a notice to be published in the Gazette of every registration made under subsection (4) of section eight and of every amendment or cancellation of any such registration.
