Article 104

The Registration Authority is obliged, within ten days of receipt of the notice of objection, to serve a copy of it, together with copies of the documents and evidence relied upon, on the applicant for registration. The applicant is obliged, within twenty days from the date of notification, to file his written response to the objection with the Registration Authority. Where the applicant remains silent regarding the objection or accepts it in writing, his request for registration shall be deemed withdrawn, and the Registration Authority shall notify the objector accordingly so that he may proceed with registration through the application he filed simultaneously with the objection. Where the applicant does not find the objection well-founded, the Registration Authority shall notify the objector within ten days, and the objector may, within twenty days from the date of notification, file his objection with the Board referred to in Article (23) of this Act and deliver the receipt thereof to the Registration Authority.
