93. Further procedure.- Within two months from the receipt by a registered proprietor of the copy of the application mentioned in rule 92 or within such further period not exceeding one month in the aggregate, he shall send to the Registrar in Form TM-6 a counterstatement in triplicate of the grounds on which the application is contested and if he does so, the Registrar shall serve a copy of the counterstatement on the person making the application within one month of the receipt of the same. The provisions of rules 50 to 57 shall thereafter apply mutatis mutandis to the further proceedings on the application. The Registrar shall not, however, rectify the register or remove the mark from the register merely because the registered proprietor has not filed a counterstatement unless he is satisfied that the delay in filing the counterstatement is wilful and is not justified by the circumstance of the case. In any case of doubt any party may apply to the Registrar for directions. |
