COSTS
Costs of proceedings
60.—(1) The registrar may, in any proceedings before him under the Act, by order award to any party such costs as he may consider reasonable, and direct how and by what parties they are to be paid.
(2) In the event of an application for the grant of a compulsory licence or for the cancellation of the registration of a design being uncontested by the registered proprietor, the registrar in deciding whether costs should be awarded to the applicant shall consider whether proceedings might have been avoided if reasonable notice had been given by the applicant to the registered proprietor before the application was filed.
Security for costs
61.—(1) If a person neither resides nor carries on business in the United Kingdom or another member State of the European Community, the registrar may require him to give security for the costs of any application or appeal falling within section 30(3).
(2) In default of such security being given, the registrar, in the case of an application, or the Appeal Tribunal, in the case of an appeal, may treat the application or appeal as abandoned.
