PART II - REGISTERED TRADEMARKS

In forceOfficial text

(1) A collective mark shall not be registered if the public is liable to be misled as regards the character or significance of the mark, in particular if it is likely to be construed as something other than a collective mark.

(2) The Comptroller may accordingly require that a mark in respect of which application is made for registration includes some indication that it is a collective mark; and notwithstanding the provisions of article 49(2), an application may be amended so as to comply with any such requirement.
