This Order amends section 83A(7) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (c. 26) as inserted by section 184(3) of the Legal Services Act 2007 (c. 29).

The amendment to section 83A(7) extends the power of the person keeping the register to make regulations which regulate work done in the course of carrying on the business of acting as agent for others for the purpose of applying for or obtaining the registration of trade marks outside the United Kingdom, in addition to that work carried out in the United Kingdom.
