41 Registrar must give applicants an opportunity to correct deficiencies
If the Registrar is not satisfied as mentioned in section 39 or 40 in relation to a design application, the Registrar must notify the applicant: (a) of the matters in relation to which the Registrar is not satisfied; and (b) that the applicant may request that the Registrar amend the application under section 28; and (c) that the application will lapse at the end of the period prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of subsection 33(1) unless, during that period: (i) the application is amended; or (ii) the applicant responds in writing to the notification stating why the applicant considers that the application does not need to be amended; and as a result of the amendment or response, the Registrar is satisfied as mentioned in section 39 or 40, as the case requires.
