(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order extends that jurisdiction to include the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys. This is consequent on the Institute becoming authorised to grant rights of audience and rights to conduct litigation to its members under sections 27 and 28 of the 1990 Act by the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/240).
