Trade Marks Act, 1996

Notice of erasure or suspension: subsequent restoration.

89.—(1) Upon the erasure of the name of a person from the Register the Controller shall forthwith send by pre-paid post to that person, at that person's address as stated in the Register, notice in writing of the erasure.

(2) Where a decision is made under section 88 that, during a specified period, a person's registration shall not have effect, the Controller shall, before the commencement of that period, send by pre-paid post to that person, at that person's address as stated in the Register, notice in writing of the decision.

(3) The name of any person which has been erased from the Register may at any time be restored to the Register by direction of the Controller but not otherwise; and, when a person's name is so restored to the Register, the Controller may attach to the restoration such conditions (including the payment of a fee not exceeding the fee which would be payable by the person for registration if that person was being registered for the first time) as the Controller thinks fit.

(4) Where a person's registration has ceased to have effect under section 88 for a specified period, the Controller may, if he so thinks fit, on application made to him by that person, terminate the suspension.
