Which Section of the Trade Marks Act gives the Registrar suo-motu power for rectification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 57(4) provides the power to rectify the register on the authority's own motion. Before making the relevant cancellation, variation or rectification order, the parties concerned must receive notice and an opportunity to be heard. This distinguishes the own-motion power from rectification initiated by an aggrieved person's application.
