New Zealand law explained for everyone

Trade Marks Act 2002

Preliminary

8: Act binds the Crown

You could also call this:

"The government must follow this law too"

This law applies to the Crown. The Crown means the government of New Zealand. When a law 'binds' someone, it means they must follow that law. So, this part of the law is saying that the government must follow all the rules in the Trade Marks Act 2002, just like everyone else does.
