Every body gets angry when free lunch is denied.
Any way Advocates who are enrolled under the Advocates Act ;
and Company Secretaries who have passed the examination conducted by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India and are licensed to practice as Company Secretary are entitled to represent their clients before the Trademarks Registry without the need for appearing in the Trademark Agent examination.
