    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 13 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, prohibits the registration of any word that is the commonly used and accepted name of a single chemical element or compound in respect of a chemical substance or preparation. It also bars registration of any word declared by the World Health Organization as an international non-proprietary name (INN) or deceptively similar to such a name. Any such registration is deemed to be wrongly made or remaining on the register and can be rectified accordingly.
