Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Competition and Consumer Affairs,
Department of Trade and Industry

(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules revoke the Patent Office (Address) Rules 1991 (S.I. 1991/675).
As a result of changes to county boundaries in Wales, for the purposes of these Rules the county of Gwent no longer exists. Consequently, the Patent Office address is incorrectly defined in the Patent Office (Address) Rules 1991 (S.I. 1991/675). The Manchester branch of the Trade Marks Registry no longer exists, and the address of the Patent Office’s London office has also changed from that prescribed in the 1991 Rules. The Secretary of State considers that it is no longer expedient for the Patent Office address to be prescribed in Rules. The address of the Patent Office is printed on the Patent Office forms and other Patent Office stationery, and is published in the Trade Marks Journal, the Patents and Designs Journal and other Patent Office literature. This statutory instrument does not impose any burdens or introduce benefits for business and so a Regulatory Impact Assessment is not considered appropriate.
1949 c. 88; section 36(1) was amended by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (c. 48).
S.I. 1991/675.
