Application-series of trade marks
51. (1) A person may make a single application under subsection 27(1) for the
registration of 2 or more trade marks in respect of similar goods or similar
services within a single class if the trade marks resemble each other in
material particulars and differ only in respect of one or more of the
following matters:

   (a)  statements or representations as to the goods or services in relation
        to which the trade marks are used or are intended to be used;

   (b)  statements or representations as to number, price, quality or names of
        places;

   (c)  the colour of any part of the trade mark;

   (d)  any matter that is not inherently adapted to distinguish the goods or
        services and does not substantially affect the identity of the trade
        marks.

(2) If:

   (a)  the application meets all the requirements of this Act; and

   (b)  the Registrar is required (under section 68) to register the trade
        marks; he or she must register them as a series in one registration.
