[Rev. 2012] CAP. 341 Sisal Industry [Subsidiary] 17 [Issue 1] SISAL INDUSTRY (REGISTRATION) RULES [Cap. 196 (1948), Sub. Leg., G.N. 1198/1949.] RULES UNDER SECTION 14 1. These Rules may be cited as the Sisal Industry (Registration) Rules. 2. (1) The owner or manager of every sisal plantation shall apply in writing to the Sisal Board for the registration of— (a) the name of each sisal plantation owned or managed by him; (b) the plantation marks used in respect of the plantation. (2) Each such application shall state the address or addresses of each plantation and the names and addresses of the owners of such plantations; and in the case of plantations which are of leasehold tenure the names and addresses of the lessees shall also be stated. 3. There shall be payable in respect of each application— (a) for the registration of each plantation name, a fee of twenty shillings; (b) for the registration of each plantation mark, a fee of twenty shillings.4. The Board may refuse to register any plantation mark if in its opinion such mark is identical with that of any other registered plantation, or if such mark so nearly resembles any other such marks as to be likely to deceive, or if it is of the opinion that some other plantation by reason of prior usage has a greater claim to the registration of that or a similar mark. 5. In the event of the Board refusing to register any plantation mark, it may allot a plantation mark to an applicant whose application for registration of a plantation mark has been refused. 6. Following the registration of a plantation mark or of plantation marks, the owner or manager of the plantation or plantations concerned shall thereafter use such mark or marks clearly imprinted upon the package of all produce exported from the plantation or plantations. 7. The owner or manager of each registered sisal plantation shall complete and forward to the Board on or before the seventh day of each month a return in Form No. 1 in the Schedule in respect of the preceding month. 8. The owner or manager of each registered sisal plantation shall on or before the 14th January in each year complete and forward to the Board a return in Form No. 2 in the Schedule in respect of the preceding month. 9. The owner or manager of every sisal plantation shall notify the Board in writing within thirty days of any change in the ownership of the plantation or of a leasehold interest in the plantation, and shall notify all changes of addresses of such owners or lessees. 10. The owner or manager of each sisal plantation shall cause to be paid any cess that may be from time to time imposed to the Secretary, Sisal Board, on or before the 15th day of the month following the month for which the cess is due. 11. Any person who fails to comply with any of these Rules shall be guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction by a subordinate court of the first or second class, to a fine not exceeding one thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both. 12. The Board shall cause to be prepared and maintained a register of sisal plantations containing the several particulars set out in Form No. 3 in the Schedule.
