Where the relations between 2 or more persons interested in a trade mark
relating to services are such that no one of them is entitled as between
himself and the other or others of them to use it except-

   (a)  on behalf of both or all of them; or

   (b)  in relation to services with the provision of which both or all of
        them are connected in the course of business, those persons may be
        registered as joint proprietors of the trade marks, and this Ordinance
        shall have effect in relation to any rights to the use of the trade
        mark vested in those persons as if those rights had been vested in a
