Classification of Goods and Services

[1st March 1991]

1. These Rules may be cited as the Trade Marks Rules.

2.—(1) In these Rules, unless the context otherwise requires—

“agent” means an agent duly authorised to the satisfaction of the Registrar;

“folio” means 100 words, each figure being counted as one word;

“specification” means the designation of goods or, as the case may be, services in respect of which a trade mark or a registered user of a trade mark is registered or proposed to be registered.

(2) The word “month”, where it occurs in any decision, direction or other document issued by the Registrar, means calendar month unless the context otherwise requires.

(3) Any period of time fixed by these Rules or by any decision, direction or other document for the doing of any act shall be reckoned in accordance with paragraphs (4), (5) and (6).

(4) Where the act is required to be done within a specified period after or from a specified date, the period begins immediately after that date.

(5) Where the act is required to be done within or not less than a specified period before the specified date, the period ends immediately before that date.

(6) Where the act is required to be done within a specified number of clear days before or after a specified date, at least that number of days must intervene between the day on which the act is done and that date.

Subst. by S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

3. The fees to be paid in respect of any matters arising under the Act shall be those specified in the First Schedule and, in any case where a form specified in that Schedule as the corresponding form in relation to any matter is required to be used, that form shall be accompanied by the fees specified in respect of that matter.

4. The forms mentioned in these Rules are those set out in the Second Schedule, modified as necessary to enable them to be used, accompanied by the appropriate fee (if any) and such forms shall be used in all cases in which they are applicable and may be modified as directed by the Registrar to meet other cases.

5.—(1) For the purposes of trade mark registrations in respect of goods and of registrations of registered users thereof, goods are classified in accordance with Part I of the Third Schedule.

(2) For the purposes of trade mark registrations in respect of services and of registrations of registered users thereof, services are classified in accordance with Part II of the Third Schedule.

6. Subject to any other directions that may be given by the Registrar, all applications, notices, counter-statements, papers having representations affixed, or other documents required by the Act or by these Rules to be left with or sent to the Registrar shall be submitted on foolscap paper of a size of approximately 33 centimetres by 20 centimetres, and shall have on the left-hand part thereof a margin of not less than 4 centimetres.

7.—(1) A document signed for or on behalf of a partnership shall contain the names of all the partners in full and shall be signed by all the partners or by any qualified partner stating that he signs on behalf of the partnership, or by any other person who satisfies the Registrar that he is authorised to sign the document.

(2) A document signed for or on behalf of a body corporate shall be signed by a director or the secretary or other principal officer of the body corporate, or by any other person who satisfies the Registrar that he is authorised to sign the document.

(3) A document signed for or on behalf of an unincorporated body or association of persons may be signed by any person who appears to the Registrar to be duly qualified.

8. Any document authorised or required by the Act or these Rules to be sent to or by the Registry may be sent through the post and, if so sent, shall be deemed to be sent by properly addressing, prepaying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, shall be deemed to have been sent at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.

Subst. by S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

9.—(1) Where any person is by the Act or these Rules required to furnish the Registrar with an address, the address given shall in all cases be as full as possible for the purpose of enabling any person easily to find the place of business of the person whose address is given.

(2) The Registrar may require the address to include the name of the street, the number of the block of building and the number of the premises or name of premises, if any, and the postal code.

10.—(1) The Registrar may require an applicant, opponent, agent or a registered proprietor or registered user of a trade mark who does not reside or carry on business within Singapore to give an address for service within Singapore and that address may be treated as the actual address of that person for all purposes connected with the matter in question.

(2) Any registered proprietor or registered user of a trade mark or any person about to be registered as such may, if he so desires, submit on Form T.M. 1 an address for service for entry in the register and such address may be entered by the Registrar.

(3) All applications on Form T.M. 1 shall be signed by the applicant for registration or the registered proprietor or registered user, as the case may be, unless in exceptional circumstances the Registrar otherwise allows.

(4) In any case in which no address for service is entered in the register, the Registrar may treat the trade or business address of the registered proprietor or registered user as therein entered as his address for service for all purposes connected with the registration.

(5) Any written communication addressed to a party or person as aforesaid at an address given by him, or treated by the Registrar, as his address for service shall be deemed to be properly addressed.

(6) The Registrar may, at any time that a doubt arises as to the continued availability of an address for service entered in the register, request the person for whom it is entered, by letter addressed to his trade or business address in the register, to confirm the address for service, and if, within two months of making such a request, the Registrar receives no confirmation of that address, he may strike it off the register.

Subst. by S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

11.—(1) Any application, request or notice which is required or permitted under the Act or these Rules to be made or given to the Registrar, and all other communications between the applicant or a person making such a request or giving such a notice and the Registrar, and between the proprietor or the registered user of a trade mark and the Registrar or any other person, may be signed, made or given by or through an agent authorised by that person in writing.

(2) In any particular case, the Registrar may require the personal signature or presence of any person.

(3) The Registrar may, by notice in writing to an agent, require him to produce evidence of his authority.

(4) An agent authorised by any person mentioned in paragraph (1) shall lodge Form T.M. 1 to enter his address as the address for service, and service upon the agent at the address for service on record of any document shall be deemed to be service upon the person so authorising him, all communications directed to be made to such person may be addressed to the agent, and all attendances upon the Registrar relating thereto may be made by or through the agent.

Subst. by S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

12.—(1) The Registrar may refuse to accept any application for the registration of a trade mark on which appears—

(a) the words or abbreviations or foreign equivalent of the words “Patent”, “Patented”, “Registered”, “Registered Design”, “Registered Trade Mark”, “Copyright”, “To counterfeit this is a forgery”, or words to the like effect;

(b) representations of the President or any colourable imitations thereof; or

(c) the words “Red Cross” or “Geneva Cross” and representations of the Geneva and other crosses in red, or of the Swiss Federal cross in white on a red ground or silver on a red ground, or such representations in a similar colour or colours.

(2) Where there appears on a trade mark the registration of which is applied for a representation of a cross in any colour, not being one of those mentioned in paragraph (1) (c), the Registrar may require the applicant as a condition of acceptance to undertake not to use the cross device in red, or in white on a red ground or silver on a red ground, or in any similar colour or colours.

13. The following features may not appear on trade marks the registration of which is applied for:

(a) representations of the Republic of Singapore’s Crest, Presidential Coat of Arms, Royal or Imperial Arms, crests, armorial bearings or insignia, or devices so nearly resembling any of the foregoing as to be likely to be mistaken for them;

(b) representations of the Royal or Imperial crowns, or of the Republic of Singapore’s flag, or of the Royal, Imperial or National flags;

(c) any words such as “Royal”, “Imperial”, “Presidential”, or “Singapore Government” or any letters or devices if used in such a manner as to be likely to lead persons to think that the applicant either has or recently has had Royal, Imperial, Presidential or Singapore Government’s patronage or authorisation, whether or not such be the case;

(d) the word “ANZAC”.

14. Where a representation of the name, initials, armorial bearings, insignia, orders of chivalry, decorations, flags or devices of any state, settlement, city, borough, town, place, society, body corporate, government body, statutory board, institution or person appears on a trade mark, the Registrar, before proceeding to register the mark, may require to be furnished with a consent to the registration and use of such emblems from such official or other person as appears to the Registrar to be entitled to give consent, and in default of such consent he may refuse to register the mark.

15. Where the name or representation of any person appears on a trade mark, the Registrar shall, if he so requires, before proceeding to register the mark, be furnished with his consent or, in the case of a person recently dead, from his legal representatives, and in default of such a consent he may refuse to register the mark.

16.—(1) Where the name or description of any goods or services appears on a trade mark, the Registrar may refuse to register the mark in respect of any goods or services other than the goods or services so named or described.

(2) Where the name or description of any goods or services appears on a trade mark, which name or description in use varies, the Registrar may permit the registration of the mark for those and other goods or services, and in that case the applicant shall state in his application that the name or description will be varied when the mark is used upon goods or services covered by the specification other than the named or described goods or services.

17.—(1) Any person who proposes to apply for the registration of a trade mark in Part A or B of the register in respect of any goods or services may apply to the Registrar on Form T.M. 3 in a case where he is making an application for advice as to whether the trade mark, of which duplicate representations shall accompany that Form, appears to the Registrar prima facie to be inherently adapted to distinguish within the meaning of section 10 of the Act or inherently capable of distinguishing within the meaning of section 11 of the Act, as the case may be, in relation to those goods or services and shall apply separately in relation to goods or services comprised within different classes of goods or services set out in the Third Schedule.

(2) A notice of withdrawal of an application for the registration of a trade mark given under section 65 (3) of the Act for the purpose of obtaining repayment of any fee paid on the filing of the application shall be given in writing within one month from the date of the notice of the Registrar’s objection.

18.—(1) An application for the registration of a trade mark in Part A or B of the register shall be made on Form T.M. 4 and shall be signed by the applicant in accordance with rule 7 or by his agent.

(2) Each application shall be for registration in respect of goods or services in only one class set out in the Third Schedule.

(3) In the case of an application for registration in respect of all the goods or services included in a class, or of a large variety of goods or services, the Registrar may refuse to accept the application unless he is satisfied that the specification is justified by the use of the mark which the applicant has made, or intends to make if and when it is registered.

(4) Where, by reason of an application to register a trade mark made or deemed to have been made in a foreign state as defined in section 75 (6) of the Act, a claim for priority under that section is made in an application for registration of the mark filed with the Registrar, the application shall state the name of the country in question and the date of the application made or deemed to have been made there, and the applicant shall file a certificate (with translations if necessary) by the registrar or other registering authority of that country or shall otherwise to the satisfaction of the Registrar verify the application made or deemed to have been made there.

19.—(1) Every application for registration of a trade mark shall contain a clear and durable representation of the mark in the space provided on the application form for that purpose.

(2) Where the representation exceeds the said space in size, the representation shall be mounted upon linen, tracing cloth or other material that the Registrar may consider suitable. Part of the mounting shall be affixed to the said space and the rest may be folded.

20. There shall be sent with every application for registration of a trade mark 4 additional representations of the mark on Form T.M. 5 exactly corresponding to that in the application form, and noted with all such particulars as may from time to time be required by the Registrar. The particulars shall, if required, be signed by the applicant or his agent.

21. All representations of marks must be clear and of a durable nature but the applicant may, in case of need, supply in place of representations on Form T.M. 5 sheets of strong foolscap of the prescribed size with the representations affixed thereon and noted as aforesaid.

22. Applications for the registration of the same mark in different classes shall be treated as separate and distinct applications, and in all cases where a trade mark is registered under the same official number for goods or services in more than one class, the registration shall henceforth for the purpose of fees and otherwise be deemed to have been made on separate and distinct applications in respect of the goods or services included in each class.

23. The Registrar, if dissatisfied with any representation of a mark, may at any time require another representation satisfactory to him to be substituted before proceeding with the application.

24.—(1) Where a drawing or other representation or specimen cannot be given in the manner aforesaid, a specimen or copy of the trade mark may be sent either of full size or on a reduced scale, and in such form as the Registrar may think most convenient.

(2) The Registrar may also, in exceptional cases, deposit in the Registry a specimen or copy of any trade mark which cannot conveniently be shown by a representation, and may refer thereto in the register in such manner as he may think fit.

25. When an application is made for the registration of a series of trade marks under section 28 of the Act, a representation of each trade mark of the series shall be affixed, as aforesaid, to the application form, and to each of the accompanying Form T.M. 5.

26.—(1) Where a trade mark contains a word or words in characters other than Roman, there shall, unless the Registrar otherwise directs, be endorsed on the application form, and on each of the accompanying Form T.M. 5, a sufficient transliteration and translation to the satisfaction of the Registrar of each of such words, and every such endorsement shall state the language to which the word belongs and shall be signed by the applicant or his agent.

(2) Where a trade mark contains a word or words in a language other than English, the Registrar may ask for an exact translation thereof together with the name of the language, and the translation and name, if he so requires, shall be indoors and signed as aforesaid.

27.—(1) Upon receipt of an application for the registration of a trade mark, the Registrar shall, for the appropriate purpose specified in paragraph (2) or (3), cause a search to be made amongst registered marks and pending applications; and the Registrar may cause the search to be renewed at any time before the acceptance of the application, but shall not be bound to do so.

(2) In the case of an application for the registration of a trade mark in respect of any goods, the appropriate purpose mentioned in paragraph (1) is that of ascertaining whether, for the same goods, for the same description of goods or for services or a description of services associated with the goods or goods of that description, there are on record any marks identical with the mark applied for or so nearly resembling it as to render the mark applied for likely to deceive or cause confusion.

(3) In the case of an application for the registration of a trade mark in respect of any services, the appropriate purpose mentioned in paragraph (1) is that of ascertaining whether, for the same services, for the same description of services or for goods or a description of goods associated with the services or services of that description, there are on record any marks identical with the mark applied for or so nearly resembling it as to render the mark applied for likely to deceive or cause confusion.

28.—(1) After such search, and consideration of the application, and of any evidence of use or of distinctiveness or any other matter which the applicant may furnish, or may be required to furnish, the Registrar may accept the application absolutely, or he may object to it, or he may express his willingness to accept it subject to such conditions, amendments, disclaimers, modifications or limitations as he may think right to impose.

(2) When the Registrar accepts the application, with or without conditions, disclaimers or limitations or after amendments or modifications have been effected, he shall issue Form T.M. 6. Unless within two months from the date thereof the applicant complies with the requirements therein and returns the Form duly checked and signed, he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application.

29. If the Registrar objects to the application, he shall inform the applicant of his objections in writing, and unless within two months from the date of the Registrar’s letter the applicant applies for a hearing or makes a considered reply in writing to those objections, he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application.

30.—(1) If the Registrar is willing to accept the application subject to any conditions, amendments, disclaimers, modifications or limitations, he shall communicate his willingness to the applicant in writing.

(2) If the applicant objects to such conditions, amendments, disclaimers, modifications or limitations, he shall, within two months from the date of the communication, apply for a hearing or communicate his considered objections in writing, and if he does not do so, he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application.

Subst. by S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

(3) If the applicant does not object to such conditions, amendments, disclaimers, modifications or limitations, he shall, within the stipulated time, notify the Registrar in writing and alter his application accordingly, and if he does not do so, he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application.

31.—(1) The decision of the Registrar, at a hearing as in rule 29 or 30 or without a hearing if the applicant has duly communicated his considered objections or considered reply in writing, and has stated that he does not desire to be heard, shall be communicated to the applicant in writing or in such other manner as the Registrar thinks fit.

Subst. by S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

(2) If the applicant objects to the decision, he may, within one month from the date of the decision by filing Form T.M. 7, require the Registrar to state in writing the grounds of, and the materials used by him in arriving at, his decision.

S 335 /92 wef 1.8.92

(3) In a case where the Registrar makes any requirements to which the applicant does not object, the applicant shall comply therewith before the Registrar issues his decision in writing.

(4) The date when the decision is sent to the applicant shall be deemed to be the date of the Registrar’s decision for the purpose of appeal.

32. The Registrar may call on an applicant to insert in his application such disclaimer as the Registrar may think fit, in order that the public generally may understand what the applicant’s rights, if his mark is registered, will be.

33.—(1) An application for the registration of a defensive trade mark under section 41 of the Act shall be made on Form T.M. 8 and shall be accompanied by a statement of case setting forth full particulars of the facts on which the applicant relies in support of his application, verified by a statutory declaration made by the applicant or some other person approved for the purpose by the Registrar.

(2) The applicant may file with the statutory declaration, or within such time as the Registrar may allow, such other evidence as he may desire, whether after request made by the Registrar or otherwise, and the Registrar shall consider the whole of the evidence before deciding on the application.

(3) In all other respects, and where they are appropriate and it is not otherwise stated, these Rules shall apply to such applications as they apply to applications for the registration of ordinary trade marks.

34. An application for the registration of a certification trade mark under section 68 of the Act shall be made to the Registrar on Form T.M. 9, and shall be accompanied by two duplicates of the application on copies of Form T.M. 9 and by 6 additional representations of the trade mark on Form T.M. 5.

35.—(1) These Rules shall apply to such applications as they apply to applications for the registration of ordinary trade marks, except that the applicant shall not be deemed to have abandoned his application if in the circumstances of rule 29 or 30 he does not apply for a hearing or apply in writing.

(2) The address of an applicant to register a certification trade mark shall be deemed to be a trade or business address for all purposes for which such an address is required by these Rules.

36.—(1) The applicant shall file with his application or, when required by the Registrar, a case setting out the grounds on which he relies in support of his application together with draft regulations for governing the use of the mark on Form T.M. 10, all being in duplicate.

(2) The Registrar may send to the applicant any observations which he may have to make on the sufficiency of the case or the suitability of the draft regulations and the applicant may modify either of those documents.

(3) The Registrar may at any time call for such evidence, if any, as he thinks fit and shall, if he so requires, hear the applicant before acting as provided in section 68 (10) of the Act.

(4) When the application has been accepted, the approved regulations, as well as the form of application, shall be open to public inspection.

37.—(1) An application for the registration of a trade mark required or permitted to be advertised by section 18 or 68 of the Act shall be advertised in the Gazette during such times and in such manner as the Registrar may direct.

(2) In the case of an application with which the Registrar proceeds only after the applicant has lodged the written consent to the proposed registration of the registered proprietor or the applicant for the registration of another trade mark, the words “By Consent” and the number of the other mark shall appear in the advertisement.

(3) If no representation of the trade mark is included in the advertisement of the application, the Registrar shall refer in such advertisement to the place or places where a specimen or representation of the trade mark is deposited for exhibition.

38.—(1) For the purposes of such advertisement, the applicant may, at the appropriate time, supply or be required to supply 3 copies of the photographs or artworks (in black and white) of the trade mark agreeing in all respects with the representation then appearing on the application form and shall be of such dimensions as may from time to time be approved or directed by the Registrar, or shall supply such information or other means of advertising the trade mark as may be required by the Registrar.
