(2) The Registrar may, in any case in which in his opinion it is desirable in the public interest so to do, refuse to take, or suspend the taking of, any proceedings on or in relation to an application of an enemy for the registration of a trade mark.
(3) No act requisite for enabling such a registration as aforesaid to be effected, in so far as it is done for that purpose and for that purpose only, shall, whether the registration is effected or not, be treated as a contravention of any of the provisions of section 4 of the Trading with the Enemy Ordin- ance, 1914, or of any rule of law relating to intercourse or dealings with or for the benefit of enemies.
(4) References in this section to an application of an enemy shall be construed as including references to an application of an enemy jointly with any other person, whether an enemy or not.
5.-(1) The Registrar may, subject to such conditions, if any, as he thinks fit to impose, extend the time limited by or under the Trade Marks Ordinance, 1909, or this Act, for doing any act, where he is satisfied-
(a) that the doing of the act within the time so limited was prevented by a person's being on active service or by any other circumstances arising from the existence of a state of war which, in the opinion of the Registrar, justify an extension of the time so limited; or
(b) that, by reason of circumstances arising from the existence of a state of war, the doing of the act within the time so limited would have been or would be injurious to the rights or interests of the person by or on whose behalf the act is or was to be done or to the public interest.
(2) An extension under this section of the time for doing
any act-
(a) may be for any period that the Registrar thinks fit,. notwithstanding that by or under any Ordinance power is conferred to extend the time for doing that act for a specified period only; and
(b) may be granted notwithstanding that that time expired before any application or request for extension was made, or that, by reason of that act not having been done within that time, the relevant application, registration or proceeding has ceased or expired, or become void or invalid, or been treated as abandoned.
(3) The powers conferred by this section may be exer- cised notwithstanding that the exercise thereof benefits, whether directly or indirectly, an enemy or an enemy subject.
6.-(1) For the purposes of this Ordinance----- (a) the fact that the address of any person registered in the register of trade marks kept under the Trade Marks Ordinance, 1909, is an address in enemy territory within the meaning of the Trading with the Enemy Ordinance, 1914, shall be prima facie evidence that that person is resident in that territory; and
(b) the fact that in any such register a person is stated to be of a particular nationality shall be primâ facie evidence that he is of that nationality.
