APPLICATIONS FOR RECTIFICATION OR REMOVAL
Application for rectification or removal
78.—(1)  An application to the Registrar under section 39 or 40 of the Act for making, expunging or varying any entry in the register shall be made on Form T.M. 28 and shall be accompanied by a statement setting out fully the nature of the applicant’ s interest, the facts upon which he bases his case and the relief which he seeks.
(2)  Where the application is made by a person who is not the registered proprietor of the trade mark in question, it shall be accompanied by two additional copies of the application and two additional copies of the statement, and the Registrar shall forthwith send those copies to the registered proprietor at his address for service as entered in the register.
Further procedure
79.—(1)  Upon such application being made, and a copy thereof sent to the registered proprietor, rules 43 to 53, with such modifications as necessary, shall apply to the further proceedings thereon; but the Registrar shall not rectify the register or remove the trade mark from the register merely because the registered proprietor has not filed a counter-statement.
(2)  In any case of doubt arising under this rule, any party may apply to the Registrar for directions.
Intervention by third parties
80.—(1)  Any person other than the registered proprietor alleging interest in a registered trade mark in respect of which an application is made under rule 78 may apply to the Registrar on Form T.M. 29 for leave to intervene stating thereon the nature of his interest, and the Registrar may, after hearing the parties concerned if so required, refuse or grant such leave upon such terms and conditions as he may think fit.
(2)  Before dealing in any way with the application for leave to intervene, the Registrar may require the applicant to give an undertaking to pay such costs as he may award to any party.
Variation of regulations
