(a) giving particulars of the relationship, existing or proposed, between the proprietor and the proposed regis¬tered user, including particulars showing the degree of control by the proprietor over the permitted use which their relationship will confer and whether it is a term of their relationship that the proposed regis¬tered user shall be the sole registered user or that there shall be any other restriction as to persons for whose registration as registered users application may be made;
