TRADE MARKS REGULATIONS 1995 - REG 2.2

Period expressed in months

    In these Regulations, a period expressed in months and dating from an event, ends:

  (a)   on the day, in the relevant subsequent month, which has the same number as the day of the event; or

  (b)   if the relevant subsequent month has no day with the same number -- on the last day of the month.

Note:   This provision expresses a contrary intention to section   2G and subsection   36(1) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 , and is in accordance with the Madrid Protocol.   The difference between the two occurs when the initiating event is on the last day of a calendar month, which has fewer days than the month in which the period ends.   For example, a period of 3 months from an event on 30   September ends on 30   December under this rule; it would end on 31   December under the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 provisions.
