Amendment of the Trade Marks Regulations 1913.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 339.)

After Regulation 13 of the Trade Marks Regulations 1913, the following Regulation is inserted:—

“13a.—(1) An agent shall not at one and the same time represent two or more parties having conflicting interests in any proceeding or matter before the Registrar of Trade Marks.

(2) Whenever in any such proceeding or matter the same agent is employed by two or more parties, the Registrar may at his discretion require that any of the said parties shall be represented before him by a different agent, and may adjourn any proceeding or matter until that party is so represented.

(3) Whenever an agent has been appointed to represent a party in any proceeding or matter before the Registrar of Trade Marks, he shall not afterwards represent any other party having a conflicting interest in the proceeding or matter unless he has received from the first-mentioned party written notice of the revocation of his appointment as agent, and has served that notice, or a certified copy thereof, on the Registrar. The authority of substitution and revocation provided for by Form A in the Third Schedule will not be regarded as sufficient notice of revocation for the purposes of this sub-regulation.”
