5.3 Notification of non-compliance
Up one level
When the Māori Trade Marks Advisory Committee has advised IPONZ on a Māori sign, the applicant will be sent a Compliance Report explaining whether or not the application complies with section 17 or section 18 of the Act and will invite the applicant to respond.
The Compliance Report will give the applicant a time limit in which it must respond or amend its application. The time limit must be not less than 12 months from the date this Compliance Report was sent out.2
For more information on the time limits and the application process, see the Guidelines to The Application Process.
