Notice of cancellation

             (1)  The Registrar must, after receiving a request from the owner of a registered trade mark under subsection 84(1) of the Act, cancel registration of the trade mark if the Registrar is not obliged under subsection 84(2) of the Act to notify a person.

             (2)  If the Registrar must notify a person under that subsection, the notification must state that unless:

                     (a)  the request from the owner is sooner withdrawn; or

                     (b)  a prescribed court determines that the Registrar must not cancel registration of the trade mark;

the Registrar will cancel the trade mark at the end of a period of 2 months from the date of the notification.

             (3)  If:

                     (a)  before the end of the period of 2 months, each person who is notified advises the Registrar in writing that the person does not object to cancellation of registration of the trade mark--the Registrar must cancel registration of the trade mark; or

                     (b)  paragraph (a) does not apply--the Registrar must cancel registration of the trade mark after the end of that period;

unless the request from the owner is withdrawn or a prescribed court determines otherwise.
