Trade Marks Journal No. 040/2010 Page No. xxix The Geneva Conventions (Amendment) Act (Circular No. 40/2007, dated 5 December 2007) The Geneva Conventions (Amendment) Act was passed in Parliament on 12 November 2007. Under the Act, the following emblems may not be used in Singapore, unless approval is given by the Ministry of Health: • Red Cross emblem • Red Crescent emblem • Red Crystal emblem • Red Lion and Sun emblem Red Cross emblem Red Crescent emblem Red Lion and Sun emblem Red Crystal emblem With the commencement of the Act, the Registrar will object to trade mark applications consisting of or containing these emblems or emblems closely resembling them, under Section 7(5) of the Trade Marks Act, unless consent from the Ministry of Health is furnished. This is so even for applications lodged before the effective date of the Act. Proprietors of registered trade marks containing or consisting of such emblems, or emblems closely resembling them, should note that in spite of their registration, they have one year from 12 November 2007 to cease using the emblems. 2008 Circulars Image of e-filed mark (Circular No. 11/2008, dated 4 July 2008) IPOS has encountered certain electronic trade mark applications which have images of marks that have jagged and blurred edges in our database and the images of the mark will not appear as clear as intended by the applicants in the trade mark journal and certificate of registration. The reason for the blurred image of marks is that applicants attach images of the marks with a lot of background or blank space. To ensure that such images are not too small for viewing purposes, IPOS has to make adjustment to the marks which then result in blurred images. In order to ensure that the image of mark is accurately captured by IPOS, applicants should crop the mark with little background or blank space and save the image as approximately 480 x 480 pixel. This will remove the need for IPOS to make adjustment to the image in the publication and the registration certificate and the applicant can then obtain clear and accurate image of the mark. (Translation Clause, Circular No. 12/2008, dated 11 July 2008. This circular was removed on 1 August 2008)
Trade Marks Journal No. 040/2010 Page No. xxx Return of assignment deeds and other registrable transaction documents (Circular No. 14/2008, dated 26 September 2008) The Registry will stop its practice of returning deeds of assignment and other documents lodged in support of applications for transfer of ownership and recordal of other registrable transactions. However, should the applicant wish for the return of such documents, he may make his request known at the time of lodgement of the recordal application on a covering letter accompanying the application to that effect. The letter shall provide contact details so that the Registry may make the necessary arrangements for the return of the documents. This practice will affect all applications lodged on or after 1 October 2008. Launch of e-Communications Portal on 1 December 2008 (Circular No. 17/2008, dated 28 November 2008) Trade Marks (Amendment) Rules 2008; Trade Marks (International Registration) (Amendment) Rules 2008 (Circular No. 17/2008, dated 28 November 2008) IPOS will launch the e-Communications Portal on 1 December 2008.
