Compliance with Paragraph 30(a) — Wine and beer

Publication Date: 2006-08-09

The wares "wine" and "beer" are now considered sufficiently specific to satisfy paragraph 30(a) of the Trade-marks Act which requires an application for the registration of a trade-mark to contain a statement in ordinary commercial terms of the specific wares or services in association with which the mark has been or is proposed to be used.

Therefore, the Trade-marks Office will, for the purposes of paragraph 30(a), not require that the wares "wine" and "beer" be further specified.
