Applications Under Section 8

24. If the application is for the registration of a design which has already been registered in respect of one or more articles, or consists of a registered design with modifications or variations not sufficient to alter the character or substantially to affect the identity thereof, and it is desired to claim the protection of section 8 of the Act for the application, it shall contain the number or numbers of the registration or registrations already effected.

Part VI-Representations

Representation of Design to be Furnished

25. There shall be furnished in connection with an application for the registration of a design four identical representations of the design, in a form satisfactory to the Commissioner, or four specimens. Where representations are supplied, the Commissioner may at any time before registration require specimens or additional representations.

Words, Letters, or Numerals

29. Where words, letters, or numerals appear in the design but are not of the essence of the design, they shall be removed from the representations or specimens.
