Whereas Her Majesty is satisfied that provision has been made under the laws of Chile, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Lesotho and Swaziland whereby priority for the protection of service marks in respect of which application for registration under the Trade Marks Act 1938(1) has been made will be given on a basis comparable to that for which provision is made by section 39A of that Act(2) in relation to applications for registration made in a relevant country (as defined in that section):

1938 c. 22; the Act was applied, with modifications, to service marks by the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act 1984 (c. 19), section 1, as amended by the Patents, Designs and Marks Act 1986 (c. 39), section 2(1) and Schedule 3.
Section 39A was added by the Patents, Designs and Marks Act 1986 (c. 39), Schedule 2, paragraph 5, and is applied to service marks by the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act 1984 (c. 19), section 1(2) and Schedule 1, paragraph 18C, as respectively substituted and inserted by the Patents, Designs and Marks Act 1986, section 2(1)(a) and Schedule 2, paragraph 11.
