REGISTERING TRADE MARKS The full reports of the conference of the Union for the Protection of Industrial Property, which assembled at Brussels on December 1, and adjourned December 14, has been received from the delegates rep- resenting the United States, Mr. Bellamy Storer, United States minister to Belgium, and Mr. Francis Forbes, and is of marked interest. There were present at the con- ference not only delegates from fifteen of the states of the union, but delegates also from sever states which have not yet ad- hered to the union, among them Germany and Japan. From the active interest which these delegates took in. the proceedings it is evident that objects of the union are universally recognized as of the highest importance. The propositions for amendment of the convention, submitted by the United States, looking toward reciprocity in the matter of fees and the requirement of working, and the matter of invention belonging to certain classes which are patentable-in ihe United States but not in cértain other coun- tries, were held by the p to be contrary to the general spirit of the con- vention, but several solutions of the diffi- culties complained of were suggested which would not be obnoxious io the convention, such as requiring of any inventor who has applied for a patent in a foreign country before applying in the United Sta Ist, the payment of the same fees in the ited States whica are required in the foreign country in which application was made; 2d, the Imitation of the patent granted in the United States to the invention protected by the foreign patent, and, 3d, providing that the patent granted in the United States within the time within which work- ing is required in the foreign country. As the fees exacted in many foreign countries for the grant and annual taxes on patents and the requirements of.work- ing the invention in each country in which it is patented are extromely onerous upon our inventors and manufacturers, it is be- lieved to be but right that foreign inventors who take out patents here should not be permitted to obtain patents Here under easier conditions than they can in their own countries. Important to American Inventors. The proposition submitted by the United States for the purpose of ‘removing any question as to the effect upon the right of priority of the amendment of an appli- cation found necessary im the progress of the examination inte, the novelty of the invention was favorably peceived, but was not incorporated intovthe convention, for the reason that it was believed unneces- sary, it being the opinton of the conference that it was “incontestable that the restric- tions given to the origina] description, dur- ing the preliminary examination, cannot prejudice the right of priority established by article 4." This 19-of very great im- portance, as it had hten generally under- stood that a United Statés inventor seek- ing to secure the benefiis of the “delay of priority’ of seven months under the convention must file-im the foreign coun- tries the application's originally filed here instead of the application in the amended form in which it became a pai- ent. Under the present understanding of the convention, the United States inventor having filed his appHéation here may at once offer his invention’ for’ sale in a for- eign country or otherwise bring it to the notice of manufacturers there and. yet on making application;at.any time within seven months from the date of his a»ali- cation here, obtain there a valid patent. ‘A proposition to so amend the conven- tion that patents granted in the several countries shall be mutually independent; that 1s, that a patent granted for fourteen years in one ccuntry shall not shorten the term of a patent subsequently in a country in which the normal term is seven- teen or twenty years, received the support of the United States delegates and was adopted by the conference. The proposed extension of the ‘delay of priority” to one year, the proposition that patents worked to the extent required in the country of origin should not be forfeit- ed for non-working in other countries for at least three years from the grant of the pat- ent, and certain propositions relating to trade murks, were discussed very fully, but had te be left to be settled by coi yond- ence. All of these propositions, excepiing the particular proposition restricting the registration of trade marks, were favored by the United States delegates. Registration of Trade Marks. The United States delegates took an ac- tive interest in the discussion of changes proposed in the agreement respecting the international registration of trade marks, though the United Statcs is not at present a party to that agreement. The purpose of this agreement is to make the international bureau at Berne the center of a cheap reg- istraticn which shall be efficient over the territory of the adhering states. Such a registration 1s extremely desirable and is practically a recessity if our manufacturers are to be protected in their foreign trade, as, unless their trade marks are registereu by them in each of the countries with which they have or wish to have an extensiv trade, they are liable to find their goods stopped at the custom house, or even seized as being an infringement on the rights of seme citizen of the country. who has know- ingly appropriated their trade mark and had it registered. This has, in fact, fri quently happened, especially in’ German. A United States manufacturing firm, whose trade mark is known from one end of tne country to the other, recently complained to this office that their trade mark had been ccpied and registered by a German manu- facturer, who was able, by virtue of his registration, to stop their trade in that country. The same thing is said to have happened to an English manufacturer, whose trade mark is known all over the world, who had, however, failed to register it himself in Germany: The fee for this international registra- tion was reduced to 100 francs for the first mark and 50 frances for each of all other marks for registratiog..@t the same time by the same owner. sili T ‘Annexed to the reportiare a number of papers of great interest; "Among these is a statement made by the German delegates in which they urge the e¢iension of the de- lay of priority to one year, instead of seven months, and abolition ef forfeiture of pat- ents for non-working,*"They seem to make amendment as to these t¥o points the con- dition of their adhesipy! fp the convention. Both of these are fayargd by the United States delegates as being in the interest of our inventors. ta Excluded From. Rrotection. Among the other pajjer#4s a statement of the inventions excluded from protection in a number of foreign céuntries, and a state- ment of the requirements as to working the invention made Mm-tertain countries. In some countries the.‘fallure to manufac- ture the invention in the country -within one year invalidates a patent granted_on that invention.

On _the\ shole, the conference wasa most important one and marks a long step for- ward toward a complete agreement _be- tween the nations as to patent and trade- mark protection. t ay ‘The conference adjourned with the under- standing that the delegates are to be call ed together by the Belgian government at date, probably in June, for the and settlement -of cer- tain questions as to which some of the delegates didnot have power to act.
