Any request referred to in subsection (1) shall be made in the prescribed manner and shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee.
Before publication of an application for registration of a trade mark, documents or information constituting or relating to the application shall not be published by the Registrar or communicated by the Registrar to any person except —
