20 Person on register taken to be authorised person

(1) If details about an authorisation given to a person are included in the register referred to in section 18, or the State/Territory register referred to in section 19: (a) the person is taken to be an authorised person for the major sporting event concerned; and (b) the use for commercial purposes of any protected indicia or images referred to in the register in relation to the authorisation or the person is taken to be covered by a relevant authorisation given to the authorised person. (2) However, if the register specifies circumstances in which, or a period during which, the person is authorised to use protected indicia or images, then the relevant authorisation referred to in paragraph (1)(b) is taken only to cover the use of the indicia or images in those circumstances or during that period.

Note: The effect of this section is that a person can rely on the details included in the register when working out whether another person is an authorised person for the purposes of other provisions of this Act, including:

(a) paragraph 12(2)(b) (secondary use of protected indicia or images for commercial purposes); and
(b) Part 4 (importation of goods).
