Trade Marks Act 2002

209: Status of notes, etc, on register before commencement of Act

You could also call this:

"Old notes about trade marks: what changes and what stays the same when the new law starts"

When this new law starts, some things will change about how trade marks are recorded. You need to know two important things:

First, if there were notes saying that one trade mark is connected to another trade mark, these notes will no longer matter. They will stop working when the new law begins.

Second, if there were any other notes, special rules, or conditions written down about a trade mark under the old 1953 law, these will still count. They will be treated as if they were written down under the new law.
