Regulation 45

An application to rectify an error or omission in the register under section 41(1) of the Act shall be made on Form PVP 4.

Where a request is sought to correct the same error in both the register and any document filed at the Registry in connection with the registration, the request may be made on a single form.

Subject to paragraph (5), the Registrar may call for such written explanation of the reasons for the request or evidence in support of it as he may require in order to satisfy himself that there is an error and shall, upon being so satisfied, make such correction as may be agreed between the applicant and the Registrar.

This rule is without prejudice to the power of the Registrar to correct any irregularity in the register which is attributable wholly or in part to an error, a default or an omission on the part of the Registry.

Rule 17A applies with the necessary modifications in relation to an application made on or after 26 May 2022 to rectify an error or omission in the name or other particular of a grantee, or in any information pertaining to a priority application, in the register as it applies in relation to an application to correct an error or a mistake in the name or other particular of an applicant, or in any information pertaining to a priority application, in an application for a grant of protection.
