I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following:
“Definitions
1.In this Act—“Act of 1992” means the Patents Act 1992;
“Act of 1996” means the Trade Marks Act 1996.”.

Amendment No. 1 is of a drafting nature and replaces section 1 "Definitions" with an expanded version that includes a definition of both the Patents Act 1992 and the Trade Marks Act 1996. Consequential on amendment No. 1, amendment No. 2 defines the Act of 1992 as meaning the Patents Act 1992 and it is therefore more appropriate to refer to the Act of 1992 throughout the Bill.
