Merchandise Marks Act, 1931

Application and construction of restriction orders.

10.—(1) A restriction order shall not extend to blends or mixtures consisting of or containing goods to which such order applies unless such order expressly provides that it shall so extend.

(2) A restriction order shall not extend to samples of the goods to which such order applies unless such order expressly provides that it shall so extend.

(3) Where goods to which a restriction order applies form part of other goods to which a restriction order does not apply but so retain their original character that an indication of origin can reasonably be applied to them such order shall apply to such first mentioned goods as if they were separate from the goods of which they form part.

(4) A restriction on sale order shall not, unless the order provides that the goods to which such order applies shall bear an indication of origin at the time of exposure for sale wholesale, extend to the case of the exposure for sale wholesale by a person who is a wholesale dealer.

(5) Where a restriction order specifies several forms of indication of origin, references in such order and in this Act to an indication of origin in the form specified in such order shall be construed as referring to an indication of origin in any one of such forms.
