Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

As soon as practicable after a purchaser has acquired a relevant right, the Secretary of State shall issue to him a certificate of entitlement stating—

(a)

the registration mark to which the relevant right relates;

(b)

the name and address of the purchaser and, where appropriate, the name of the nominated person;

(c)

the date on which the one year period mentioned in paragraph 5(1) ends; and

(d)

the date of the agreement to purchase the right.

(2)

In any case where the period mentioned in paragraph 5(1) has been extended the Secretary of State shall issue a new certificate of entitlement which shall state the date on which the period of extension ends together with the matters referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (d) in sub-paragraph (1).

(3)

If a purchaser to whom a certificate of entitlement has been issued satisfies the Secretary of State that the certificate has been lost or destroyed, the Secretary of State shall issue a replacement certificate.

(4)

In any case where a replacement for a lost certificate has been issued and the purchaser subsequently finds it, he shall forthwith return it to the Secretary of State.

(5)

If a certificate of entitlement becomes defaced or illegible, the Secretary of State may, if the purchaser returns it to him, issue a replacement certificate.

(6)

If the Secretary of State accepts an application in accordance with paragraph 3(2) for the nomination of a person for the purposes of paragraph 2(1)(b) after the issue of a certificate of entitlement, he shall issue to the purchaser a new certificate of entitlement which records the name of the person nominated in pursuance of the application.
