Every person, partnership or company from time to time being proprietors of or having shares or interests in such exclusive privileges shall cause to be entered in such book under such number as aforesaid their names, together with the address of some place in Brunei Darussalam for the service of such proceedings and process as aforesaid.

(2)
The High Court shall have power upon the application of any person who alleges that his interests have been prejudicially affected by the issue of a certificate of registration, to declare that the exclusive privileges and rights conferred by such certificate of registration have not been acquired on any of the grounds upon which the grant might be revoked under
the law for the time being in force in the territory in which the grant was originally made.
(3)
Such grounds shall be deemed to include the manufacture, use or sale of the invention in Brunei Darussalam before the priority date applicable to the patent in the territory in which the grant was originally made, but not to include the manufacture, use or sale or the invention in Brunei Darussalam by some person or persons after the priority date applicable to the patent in such territory and before the date of the issue of the certificate of registration under section 4(1).

Entry of order of Court in register

13. Whenever it is adjudged by the Court that an exclusive privilege as to the whole or any part of an invention has not been acquired, the Minister responsible for inventions matters shall, upon production of a certified copy of the judgment or order of the Court, cause an entry thereof to be made in the register in section 9 directed to be kept, and shall cause a reference to such entry to be made in the margin of the entry of the specification contained in such register.
