JELLICOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 26th day of

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section one hundred and thirty-eight
of the Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act,
1921-22 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), it is
enacted that the Governor-General in Council may from
time to time, subject to the provisions of the said Act, make
such regulations as he thinks expedient, inter alia, for regu-
lating the keeping of the Register of Patent Agents under
the said Act, the registration of patent agents, the terms
and conditions of such registration, and the cases and
manner in which such registration may be cancelled: And
whereas it is expedient to make such regulations accord-
ingly:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the power
and authority conferred upon him by the said section, and
of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, His Excel-
lency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand,
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the fol-
lowing regulations for the purposes aforesaid; and doth
hereby declare that the said regulations shall come into
force on the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred
and twenty-two.

REGULATIONS.

1. A REGISTER of Patent Agents shall be kept by the
   Registrar subject to the provisions of the said Act and of
   these regulations.

2. (1.) The register shall contain in one list the names of
   all patent agents who are registered under the said Act and
   these regulations.
   (2.) Such list shall be made out according to the surnames
   of the registered persons, and shall contain the full name
   of each registered person, with his address and the date
   of registration.

3. The Registrar shall publish in the Patent Office
   Journal, in the month of March in each year, a list of all
   patent agents whose names are on the register. The list
   so published shall be admissible as evidence of all matters
   stated therein in pursuance of these regulations, and the
   absence of the name of any person from the register shall
   be evidence, until the contrary is made to appear, that
   such person is not registered as a patent agent.

4. Subject to the provisions of the said Act in favour of
   persons who prove to the satisfaction of the Registrar that
   on the 1st October, 1921, they were bona fide practising as
   patent agents, no person shall be registered as a patent
   agent under these regulations unless and until he has passed
   an examination as hereinafter prescribed.

5. Examinations shall be conducted by the Registrar,
   assisted by two other persons (one of whom may be a
   patent agent) whom the Minister of Justice may appoint
   for the purpose for a term not exceeding two years.

6. Every person who wishes to be examined with a view
   to registration as a patent agent shall notify his desire
   to the Registrar, and shall forward to him two or more
   testimonials as to character, and also evidence that he is
   a British subject. If the Registrar is satisfied with such
   testimonials and evidence, he shall notify the candidate
   accordingly, and on payment by him of a fee of £3 3s.
   shall arrange for his examination, and notify him of the
   time and place thereof.

7. The examination shall be conducted by means of
   written papers upon the following subjects, namely:—
   (a.) The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act (New
   Zealand), and the regulations for the time being
   in force thereunder;
   (b.) The requirements with regard to the preparation
   of provisional or complete specifications and claims;
   (c.) Patents, designs, and trade-marks case law;
   (d.) The patent law of England and other parts of the
   British Empire, and of other principal countries of
   the world;
   (e.) Any other subjects that may from time to time be
   prescribed by Order in Council: Provided that
   not less than six months’ notice shall be given of
   any subject prescribed in pursuance of this para-
   graph.

8. As soon as possible after the examination the
   examiners shall consider the result thereof, and a
   majority of the examiners shall determine whether the
   candidate has passed or failed. Upon such determination
   the Registrar shall notify the candidate thereof. If the
   candidate has passed, the Registrar shall, on payment of
   a fee of £2 2s., place his name on the Register of Patent
   Agents, and issue to him a certificate of registration.

9. Every registered patent agent shall, on the 1st day
   of January in each year, or as soon thereafter as possible,
   pay to the Registrar a renewal fee of £2 2s.

10. The Registrar shall from time to time insert in the
    register any alteration which may come to his knowledge
    in the name or address of any person registered.

11. The Registrar shall from time to time erase from the
    register the name of any registered person who is dead.

12. The Registrar may erase from the register the name
    of any registered person who has ceased to practise as a
    patent agent, but not (save as hereinafter provided)
    without the consent of that person. For the purposes of
    this regulation the Registrar may send by post to a regis-
    tered person, to his registered address, a notice inquiring
    whether or not he has ceased to practise or has changed
    his residence; and if the Registrar does not, within three
    months after sending the notice, receive an answer thereto
    from the said person, he may, within fourteen days after
    the expiration of the three months, send him by post to
    his registered address another notice referring to the first
    notice, and stating that no answer has been received by the
    Registrar; and if the Registrar either before the second
    notice is sent receives the first notice back from the dead-
    letter office, or receives the second notice back from that
    office, or does not within three months after sending the
    second notice receive any answer thereto from the said
    person, that person shall, for the purpose of this regula-
    tion, be deemed to have ceased to practise, and his name
    may be erased accordingly.

13. If any registered person does not, within one month
    from the day on which his annual registration fee becomes
    payable, pay such fee, the Registrar may send to such
    registered person, to his registered address, a notice re-
    quiring him, on or before a day to be named in the notice,
