Any person having duly recorded a brand or mark used on live animals in the office of any county recorder of any county in Iowa before July 4, 1965, shall be presumed to be the owner of such brand or mark and shall be protected in the use of such brand or mark for a period of ninety days from July 4, 1965. In the event any two or more persons present for recording the same or similar brand, the one whose brand was recorded first with any county recorder shall be the one entitled to record, use, and own such brand pursuant to this chapter. If such presumed owner fails to file application, facsimile, and recording fee as provided for in section 169A.4 within the ninety-day period, title to such brand or mark which may have been acquired by such recording shall terminate as of midnight of the last day of the ninety-day period. If such presumed owner files an application, facsimile, and recording fee as provided for in section 169A.4 it shall be the duty of the secretary to give priority to examination of such application.
