If there was only a partial refusal, that is, it only related to some of the goods and/or services nominated, there will be automatic acceptance and advertisement of those goods and/or services that were allowable. If there was a full refusal, that is, it related to all of the goods and/or services, no protection will be afforded to the Australian designation. In both cases, a ‘notice of final decision’ will be sent to the IB.
