Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a commencement proclamation — a formal legal notice that activates specific parts of a law on a fixed date.

The Governor-General has declared that Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Trade Marks Amendment Act 2006 will start operating on 27 March 2007.

What this means:

Before 27 March 2007: Those specific sections existed on paper but were not yet active law.
From 27 March 2007 onwards: Those provisions became legally enforceable.

This is a routine administrative step that gives businesses, lawyers, and the public certainty about exactly when new trade mark rules take effect. It does not create new rules; it simply switches on rules that Parliament has already passed.
