The Trade& Merchandise Marks Act 1958 has been repealed by the Trade Marks Act 1999. There is a saving in the Trade Marks Act 1999 keeping all notifications that were issued under the T&MM Act 1958 alive if they were in existance on the date of repeal of this act corresponding to similar provision under the new act. Has Notification S.O 1272 dated 25th April 1962 been rescinded rather has any notification been issued under section 139 of the Trade Marks Act 1999 altering the status of this Notification in respect of export of goods.
Section 71 of the Geographical Indication of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act 1999 empowers the Govt to prescribe conditions similar to section 117 of the T&MM Act 1999. Has any notification been issued under this section by the Govt. altering the situation in respect of export of goods

No such repeal of SO 1272 has been made till to date and no notification has been issued under 71.
