Rule 14 of the Trade Marks and Service Marks Rules 1986 authorises the Registrar to refuse to recognise certain persons as agents in respect of business under the Trade Marks Act 1938. These Rules amend that rule to provide for the individuals or persons who may be refused recognition consequent on the coming into force of section 282 (register of trade mark agents) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988and the making of rules thereunder — see the Register of Trade Mark Agents Rules 1990 (S.I.1990/1458).
