2 - The application for the registration of a collective mark must be accompanied by a document containing the rules which the applicant for registration will follow in the control or inspection of the goods or services to verify the common characteristics in the manner set forth in Clause 1 of this article, together with an indication of the manner in which the collective mark is to be used in connection therewith.

The registered owner of a collective mark shall notify the Office of any changes that are made to the rules stipulated in Clause 2 of the preceding articles.

2 - Any person concerned may request the relevant Civil Court to cancel the registration of a collective mark, if it is established that the registered owner is using the collective mark on his own, or allows others to use it in violation of the rules stipulated in the preceding article, such that it is likely to mislead the business community or the public, with respect to the common distinguishing characteristics of the goods or service associated with the mark.
