(b)an individual whose name has been erased from and not restored to, or who is suspended from, the register of trade mark [F1attorneys] on the ground of misconduct;

(c)a person who is found by the Secretary of State to have been guilty of such conduct as would, in the case of an individual registered in the register of trade mark [F2attorneys], render him liable to have his name erased from the register on the ground of misconduct;
