When an application for registration has been accepted, the Registrar shall cause the application to be published in the Gazette, in the prescribed manner.
Any person may, within 60 days from the date of the publication of the application, give notice to the Registrar of opposition to the registration.
The notice shall be given in writing in the prescribed manner, and shall include a statement of the grounds of opposition.
Where an application has been published, any person, at any time before the registration of the trade mark, may make observations in writing to the Registrar as to whether the trade mark should be registered and the Registrar shall inform the applicant of those observations.
A person who makes observations does not by those actions become a party to any proceedings regarding the application.
