REGULATIONS GOVERNING FOREIGN TRADE MARKS. 



The following is a condensed abstract of the important fea- 

 tures of the trade-mark laws of the leading countries of the 

 world. Manufacturers of trade-marked articles should bear in 

 mind that in quite a number of foreign countries ownership of 

 a trade mark is acquired only by registration, not use. Hence, 

 an unauthorized person may register an existing trade mark in 

 these countries, and such registration may prevent the rightful 

 owner from afterwards using it in those countries. The impor- 

 tance of registration of trade marks in foreign countries is 

 therefore evident:

TRADE-MARKS AND NATIONALITY. 



.-K new provision of the British Patent Office requires each ap- 

 plicant for a trade-mark to declare his nationality, or, in the 

 case of firms, that of the individual members. This declaration 

 may be embodied in the application, in which case the applicant 

 must sign the application personally, or, in the case of firms, each 

 individual member must sign and make declaration. If the ap- 

 plication is signed by an agent, the declaration may be on the 

 authorization to the agent or on a separate form. In the case 

 of bodies corporate, in connection with those obviously incor- 

 porated under the laws of Great Britain, no further information 

 will be required ; in all other cases, particulars of incorporation 

 must be inserted in tlie application, e. g., "a company organized 

 under the laws of France," etc.
