Trade mark protection:
Provision is made in the Act for the registration of trade marks for goods and for services. However, as the Rules under the old Act are still in force, they make no provision for the classification or registration of services.
The Act also provides for certification marks as well as for defensive registration of trademarks, and for the registration of series of trade marks.
The Act further provides for the register to be pided into two Parts, Part A for trademarks which are distinctive, and Part B for trademarks which are capable of distinguishing.
