EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1989 NO. 94
Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Science, Customs and Small Business
The Statutory Rules vary certain of the fees prescribed in Schedule 2 to the Trade Marks Regulations with effect from 1 July 1989. Details of the amendment are as follows:
Regulation 1 provides that the regulations will come into operation on 1 July 1989.
Regulation 2 substitutes a revised Schedule 2. Included in the revised schedule are new provisions for the reduction of the level of fees in a number of cases where multiple requests for essentially the same actions are made (item 3(b)) and for supplying at the same time more than one of the same certified copy of a certificate of registration (item 10(b)) or certificate of the Registrar (item 11(b)). A number of minor drafting changes are also incorporated into the revised schedule. Otherwise, items differ from existing items in the level of fees except for previous item 9 which has been omitted and item 12 which remains unchanged. Previous fee item 6 is split into items 6 and 7 and previous items 7 and 8 are renumbered items 8 and 9.
Regulation 3 is a transitional provision.
