Trademarks Regulations, 1970 (L.I. 667)Regulation 64:(1) For the purposes of these Regulations, goods are classified in the manner appearing in Schedule 1.(2) Where the specification of a registered trade mark is founded on Part 3 of the Schedule to the Trade Marks Ordinance, (Cap. 180), the registered proprietor may apply to the Registrar on the prescribed form for the conversion of that specification so that it may be founded on Schedule 1 of these Regulations, whether with or without the striking of goods therefrom but so that the registration retains its original date. Thereupon the Registrar shall send the registered proprietor a written proposal showing the form which, in the Registrar's view, the amendment of the register should take. (The proposed conversion shall be advertised.)(3) When a proposal for the conversion of a specification in accordance with this Regulation has been advertised and has not been opposed and the time for notice of opposition has expired, or having been opposed the opposition has been determined and a conversion allowed, the Registrar shall make all the entries in the register necessary to give effect to the conversion in accordance with the proposal as advertised, or the proposal as amended after opposition or appeal thereon and published subsequently in the Daily Graphic or other periodical circulating in Ghana and shall enter in the register the date when such entries were made. The expression "the expiration of the last registration" shall have regard to the same date in the case of all the resulting entries for the purpose of determining the next renewal thereof in accordance with section 20 of the Act as it had with regard to the registration before conversion.(4) Two or more registrations of a trade mark in respect of goods falling within the same class of Schedule 1 to these Regulations, having the same date of registration, may be amalgamated upon conversion in accordance with this Regulation. |
