17.—(1) Any person who proposes to apply for the registration of a trade mark in Part A or B of the register in respect of any goods or services may apply to the Registrar on Form T.M. 3 in a case where he is making an application for advice as to whether the trade mark, of which duplicate representations shall accompany that Form, appears to the Registrar prima facie to be inherently adapted to distinguish within the meaning of section 10 of the Act or inherently capable of distinguishing within the meaning of section 11 of the Act, as the case may be, in relation to those goods or services and shall apply separately in relation to goods or services comprised within different classes of goods or services set out in the Third Schedule.
(2) A notice of withdrawal of an application for the registration of a trade mark given under section 65(3) of the Act for the purpose of obtaining repayment of any fee paid on the filing of the application shall be given in writing within one month from the date of the notice of the Registrar’s objection.
