RECTIFICATION AND CORRECTION OF REGISTER
RULE 64. FURTHER PROCEDURE

Within two months from the receipt by a registered proprietor of the copy of the application mentioned in rule 63, he shall send to the Registrar on Form LD-3 a counter statement in triplicate of the grounds on which the application is contested and if he does so the Registrar shall serve a copy of the counter-statement on the person making the application. The provisions of the rules 35 to 41 shall thereafter apply mutatis mutandis to the further proceedings on the application. The Appellate Board or the Registrar shall not, however, rectify the register merely because the registered proprietor has not filed a counter-statement. In any case of doubt, any party may apply to the Appellate Board or the Registrar, as the case may be, for the directions.
