Trade-Marks. Statutory Rules, 1913, No. 339. Effective Dec. 19, 1913. The Australian Official Journal of Trade-Marks of Jan. 16, 1914, contains official notice, concerning Trade-Marks Act 1905-1912, that provisional Statutory Rules, 1913, No. 260, the text of which appears in 12 P. & T. M. Rev., 69, were made permanent on Dec. 19, 1913, by the Governor-General, and became effective forthwith. The Regulations may be cited as Statutory Rules, 1913, No 339. South and Central America. Trade-Marks. Need of Registration. In view of the coming opening of the Panama Canal it is thought to be timely to call attention, once again, to the fact that, in many of the countries, which will be more widely opened to trade by the Canal, a trade-mark becomes the absolute property of the party who is the first to register it. This fact makes it of the utmost importance that owners of valuable trade-marks should register them promptly in the territory in question if they would avoid all danger of losing their rights. Patents. France. Application-Power. Optional Publication of Patentee's Address. We are advised that the French Office of Industrial Property, in view of the many requests by inventors that their addresses appear in the Bulletin Officiel, as well as on the printed copies of patents, on Dec. 30, 1913, issued a Circular, providing that "powers signed by the inventors and filed by the attorneys in support of a patent application shall contain, in the future, a mention indicating whether the applicant wishes that his address shall be or shall not be published integrally by the National Office." In view of the unwelcome solicitations of divers kinds, to which patentees might be subjected by the publication of their addresses, the option of withholding same will be accepted by a large proportion. Japan. Trade-Marks. Power of Attorney Under the New Law. Caswell & Co. v. Kobayashi Kiju. Decision. Penalty. Appeal. From the Japan Chronicle, of January 7, 1914, we learn that it is understood that an appeal to the Court of Cassation has been made against the decision reported in 12 P. & T. M. Rev., 9, 68, and 102. As a matter of interest we give, from the same source, the judicial form of apology required of the infringing defendant, to the following effect: "Advertisement for the Restoration of Reputation. Being jealous of the popularity of the Chelsea brand of shoe-polish manufactured and sold by Messrs. Caswell & Co., Ltd., Kettering and London, which enjoys great popularity in Japan, owing to its good quality, I used a counterfeit picture which bore a close resemblance to the 'Chelsea' mark of the English Manufacturers, which was registered under No. 38,306 in Japan, on the bottles of boot cream which I made and sold. I recognize that my action damaged the credit and fame of the English firm. So I hereby advertise this apology. Industrial Property. Mixed Courts. How Constituted. Regarding the constitution and authority of the Mixed Courts of Egypt, wherein patents and trade-marks are registered and through which their I protection is secured, we are indebted to Mr. John Bassett Moore, Counselor of the Department of State for the following succinct summary: "In 1876, as a result of international action, certain Courts were created in Egypt for the trial of civil and commercial causes arising between the natives and foreigners, as well as of all questions of real estate between any person and suits of foreigners against the Egyptian Government and the members of the Khedival family. A mixed tribunal consists of five judges, three of whom are foreigners and two natives. The foreign judges are appointed by the Khedive on the recommendation of the great powers. The various powers have from one to three representatives on these Courts. There are three American members." At the present time there are three Mixed Tribunals of First Instance with a Court of Appeals sitting at Alexandria. Portugal. Patents. Fancy or Advertising Titles for Inventions Prohibited. Regulation No. 70 of Nov. 21, 1913. (Translation.) The Bureau of Industrial Property having considered the necessity of following the doctrine expressed in the circular which, in France, was addressed by the Minister of Commerce to the prefects, Sept. 9, 1903, in that part which refers to the succinctness which should be maintained in the descriptive titles which describe inventions; Whereas, The title of a patent of invention, granted in the terms of the letter of the Law of May 21, 1896, can, by no construction, guarantee to its owner the exclusive use of whatever designations he may have given to his invention, |
