APPLICATION OF THE ACT AND TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
61. Save as otherwise provided in this Part, the provisions of this Act
shall apply in respect of all trade or service marks, including trade marks
registered before the commencement of this Act.
62 For the purpose of this Act any trade mark registered under the
previous Ordinance in Part B of the then existing Register of the Trade
Marks shall not be taken to be valid in all respects subject to the provisions
of section 50(2), until a period of seven years has elapsed from the
commencement of this Act.
63. Trade Marks which have been registered before the commencement
of this Act under existing systems of classification under the International
Classification shall, upon application for their renewal under section 29,
be reclassified into the International Classification system.
64 -(1) Subject to the provisions of this section and section 50(2) of
this Act, the validity of the original entry of any trade marks existing at the
commencement of this Act shall be determined in accordance with the
enactments in force at the date of that entry and any such trade mark shall
retain its original date, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have
been registered under this Act.
(2) No trade mark which was on the register at the commencement of
this Act shall be removed from the register on ground that it was not
registrable under the enactments in force at the date of its registration. The
trade mark shall remain in force in Tanzania for the remainder of
the unexpired period for which it was in force under the previous enactment.
(3) Nothing in this Act shall be taken to have invalidated the original
registration of a trade mark which immediately before the commencement
