27. Upon receipt of an application for registration the Registrar shall cause a search to be made amongst the registered marks and pending applications for the purpose of ascertaining whether there are on record any marks for the same goods or description of goods identical with the mark applied for or so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive.

29. If after such search and consideration of the application any objections appear, a statement of these objections shall be sent to the applicant in writing and unless within three months the applicant applies for a hearing he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application.
30. If the Registrar accepts an application subject to any conditions, amendments or modifications and the applicant objects to such conditions, amendments or modifications, the applicant shall within three months from the date of the communication notifying such acceptance apply for a hearing, and if he does not do so he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application. If the applicant does not object to such conditions, amendments or modifications, he shall forthwith notify the Registrar in writing.

The decision of the Registrar at such hearing as aforesaid shall be communicated to the applicant in writing, and if the applicant objects to such decision he may within one month apply upon Form 3 in the Second Schedule, requiring the Registrar to state in writing the grounds of his decision and the materials used by him in arriving at the same.
