Rule 54 Change of classification; sections 65(2) & 76(1)I1
United Kingdom
The registrar may at any time amend an entry in the register which relates to the classification of a registered trade mark so that it accords with the version of the Nice Classification that has effect at that time.
Before making any amendment to the register under paragraph (1) the registrar shall give the proprietor of the mark written notice of the proposed amendments and shall at the same time advise the proprietor that—
the proprietor may make written objections to the proposals, within two months of the date of the notice, stating the grounds of those objections; and
if no written objections are received within the period specified the registrar shall publish the proposals and the proprietor shall not be entitled to make any objections to the proposals upon such publication.
If the proprietor makes no written objections within the period specified in paragraph (2)(a) or at any time before the expiration of that period decides not to make any objections and gives the registrar written notice to this effect, the registrar shall as soon as practicable after the expiration of that period or upon receipt of the notice publish the proposals in the Journal.
Where the proprietor makes written objections within the period specified in paragraph (2)(a), the registrar shall, as soon as practicable after having considered the objections, publish the proposals in the Journal or, where the registrar has amended the proposals, publish the proposals as amended in the Journal; and the registrar’s decision shall be final and not subject to appeal.
