(3) Where the trade mark applied for is not a word, letter, numeral or
combination thereof (but a mark represented in a special or particular
manner) there shall be sent with every application for the registration
of the trade mark a representation of the mark annexed to Form TM1 and(a) two additional unmounted representations of the mark exactly
corresponding to the mark affixed to Form TM1; and
(b) such additional representations of the mark as the Registrar may deem
necessary.
(4) All representations of the marks shall be of a durable nature and
on one side of the paper only. Letters, figures and lines shall be clear
and distinct. If, in the opinion of the Registrar, the representations
of the mark are not satisfactory, he may at any time require other
representations, satisfactory to him, to be substituted before proceeding
with the application.
(5) Where a representation cannot be given in the manner aforesaid, a
specimen or copy of the trade mark may be sent either of full size or
on a reduced scale and in such form as the Registrar may think most convenient.
(6) The Registrar may also call for a deposit in the office of a specimen
or copy of any trade mark which cannot conveniently be shown by a
representation, and may refer to it in the register in such manner as
he may think fit.
14. Translation of languages
(1) Where a trade mark or application contains a word or numeral in other
than roman characters, there shall be endorsed on Form TM1 a transliteration
and/or translation to the satisfaction of the Registrar of each such word
or numeral.
(2) Where a trade mark contains a word in a language other than an official
language of the Republic the Registrar may ask for a translation thereof,
and if he so requires, such translation shall be endorsed on Form TM1.
15. Procedure on receipt of application
(1) On or after the receipt of any application for the registration of
a trade mark, the Registrar shall furnish the applicant with an
acknowledgement thereof. Such acknowledgement shall contain the official
number and date of the application.
