South African Union. Industrial Property. Proposed Consolidation. Status. Recent advices from Johannesburg indicate that consideration of the proposed Consolidated Acts (see 12 P. & T. M. Rev., p. 35, and vol. 11, p. 327), due to industrial disturbances, have been held in abeyance for other and more pressing matters. It is probable that they will not be brought before Parliament for some time with little prospect of coming into force this year. Paraguay. Patents. Trade-Marks. Proposed Legislation. "The illustrious member of the Chamber of Deputies, Dr. Juan Monte, deservedly chosen today first vice-president of the body of which he is a member, will present during the early weeks a project of law concerning patents, filling, thus, a perceptible deficiency of our legislation. "In view of the known ability of the jurist and legislator mentioned it is hoped that it will be a matter of a work, perfect and worthy of commendation.” (Translated from El Tiempo, Asuncion.) It is understood that a revision of the Trade-Mark Law will also be taken up. Ed. National Foreign Trade Convention. Meeting at Washington, May 27-28, 1914. Announcement has been made of a meeting at Washington, May 27-28, 1914, of the National Foreign Trade Convention to formulate means for reaching foreign consumers and making better known the productions of the United States. At the present time certain of the European countries hold a monopoly in quarters of the world that we, on account of domestic development and local competition among ourselves, have neglected. The purpose of the convention is to arouse the interest of manufacturers and to obtain the cooperation of the government in a concerted propaganda to secure trade advantages. Mr. Lloyd C. Griscom, of New York, is Chairman of the General Committee. Addresses will be made by William C. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, and James J. Hill. Congress of Inventors and Industrial Artists. Meeting at Lyon, France, Aug. 17-21, 1914. The Fourth International Congress of Societies of Inventors and Industrial Artists will be held in Lyon, France, August 17 to August 21 next. The following matters will be discussed at the congress: (1) International patent, (2) the exploitation of patents, (3) proper means to encourage inventors, (4) cost and duration of patents, (5) international deposit of designs and models, (6) legal assimilation of designs and models to artistic works, (7) result of the French laws of 1902 and 1909, from the point of view of the interests of creators of designs and models. |
