Section 130
Death of party to a proceeding.
About this Act
An Act to amend and consolidate the law relating to trade marks, to provide for registration and better protection of trade marks for goods and services and for the prevention of the use of fraudulent marks.
If a person who is a party to a proceeding under this Act (not
being a proceeding before 1*** or a court) dies pending the proceeding, the Registrar may,
on request, and on proof to his satisfaction of the transmission of the interest of the deceased person,
substitute in the proceeding his successor in interest in his place, or, if the Registrar is of opinion that the
interest of the deceased person is sufficiently represented by the surviving parties, permit the proceeding
to continue without the substitution of his successor in interest.
