15.3.1

Additional certificates (cont'd)

II.

Form and contents of additional certificates.(cont'd)

c.

For registration beginning in 1946, for which the combined application-certificate forms were used, the body of the original certificate was substantially identical with the body of the applications, which became the record of the entry. However, these application-certificate forms have gone through several revisions, and the present certificate forms may require some adaptation or amendment to be used as additional certificates of earlier registrations.

d.

The following practices should be followed with respect to annotations appearing on

the record of a registration:

1.

Annotations including the Letter "C" or the abbreviation. "Cert." in parentheses also appeared on the original certificate, and should be included on all additional certificates.

2.

Annotations including the letter "A" or the abbreviation "Appl." in parentheses appeared on the applica­tion only, and should not be included

on an additional certificate.

3.

Pencil annotations, initials, and similar internal markings should not be reproduced on additional certifi­cates. The same is true of renewal registration numbers.
