of ordinary trade marks

The applicant shall send to the Registrar 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 TM-No. 21, all being in duplicate. The Registrar may communicate to the applicant any observations 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. The Registrar may at any time call for such evidence, if any, as he thinks fit and shall, if required, hear the applicant before acting as provided in section 65(5). When the application has been accepted the approved regulations, as well as the form of application, shall be open to public inspection.
