Associated trade marks
10.(1) If a trade mark that is registered, or whose registration is being
sought, in the name of a person and in respect of particular goods:

        or whose registration is being sought, in the name of the same person
        and in respect of:

        (i)    the same goods; or

        (ii)   goods of the same description as those goods; or

        (iii)  services that are closely related to those goods; or
