Manchester Office. 38. For the convenience of merchants and manufacturers engaged in the cotton trade, and for the purpose of facilitating the recording of trade marks used in respect of cotton goods, an office has been opened at 48 Royal Exchange, Manchester, where searches can be made on payment of Is. for each quarter of an hour for all marks in classes of textiles from class 23 to class 35. Certificates. 39. The Comptroller's certificate in relation to a trade mark is of four kinds, viz. (i.) For use in legal proceedings. (ii.) For use in applying for registration in foreign countries. (iii.) Of any application made and of proceedings thereon. (iv.) A certificate of refusal of a mark in use before 13th August 1875, and not registerable. 40. A person desirous of obtaining any of the above certificates should forward Form S, Form R, Form T1, or Form L (see paragraph 3), as the case may be, to the Comptroller, giving the Comptroller's official number of the mark, and stating whether the certificate is required for use in legal proceedings, or for use in applying for the registration of the mark in a foreign country, or for what other purpose. The form should be accompanied by two unmounted copies of each mark for which a certificate is required. 41. In every case where a certificate is required in respect of a cotton mark, or in respect of any trade mark of which the representations or specimens forming part of the application for registration are coloured, two unmounted copies of the mark must be supplied, agreeing in every respect with the representations forming part of the application for registration. Special atten tion should be paid to this requirement, as the certificate cannot in any such case be prepared until these unmounted copies are received by the Comptroller. Registration of subsequent Proprietors of Registered Trade Marks. 42. The request and declaration to be made by a subsequent proprietor on application for the registration in his name of a registered trade mark must be made on Form K (see paragraph 3). H.
