(510 ILCS 40/5) (from Ch. 8, par. 33.65)
Sec. 5.
Beginning January 1, 1976, any person desiring to adopt a brand
shall forward to
the Department a facsimile brand, a recording fee of $15, and completed
application on forms
prescribed by the Department. If the brand is accepted, the Department
shall file the brand in its official
brand book, shall furnish the applicant a brand certificate, and shall inform
the applicant that he
has exclusive right to the use of such brand in the State of Illinois from
the date of filing by
the Department. Additional brand certificates of a recorded brand may be
obtained from the
Department upon payment of a $15 fee for each certificate.
If the Department determines that the submitted brand is already on record
for another person or
that it so closely resembles the brand of another person that they cannot
be readily distinguished,
the Department shall notify the applicant and shall return the facsimile
brand and recording fee.
