Effect of registration of parts of a mark
(1) When a trade mark consists of several matters, its registration shall confer on the proprietor exclusive right to the use of the trade mark taken as a whole.

(i) | which is not the subject of a separate application by the proprietor for registration as a trade mark; or | |
(ii) | which is not separately registered by the proprietor as a trade mark; or |
