Article 3 Entitlement to protection

An international registration designating the United Kingdom shall be entitled to become protected subject to the provisions of articles 9 to 12 where, if the particulars of the international registration were comprised in an application for registration of a trade mark under the Act, such an application would satisfy the requirements for registration (including any imposed by the Rules).

For that purpose, sections 32 to 34, rules 5 to 8 and rules 10 and 11 shall be disregarded.
