BRITISH TRADE MARKS IN JAPAN.
With reference to previous notices in the Board of Trude Journal on the above subject, the Board of Trade are in receipt, through the Foreign Office, of a memorandum prepared by His Majesty's Commercial Attaché at Yokohama which deals with the question of the proof of knowledge of registration on the part of a defendant in a criminal action for infringe ment of a trade mark.
From this memorandum it would appear that, in the opinion of the Japanese l'atent Bureau, Article 38 of the Criminal Code of Japan, which says "There is exemption from penalty when the accused has not had the intention of committing an infraction, save in cases determined by special provisions of the Law...................
renders it necessary for the plaintiffs in a criminal action for infringement of a trade mark to prove that the defendant had the intention of committing an infraction, or in other words, that he knew that the trade mark which he infringed was registered.
In view of this opinion all owners of registered trade marks in use in Japan are recom- mended to place on their trade marks an indication of registration (such as the words Tōroku Shohyō, or the Japanese characters meaning Registered Trade Mark) so as to leave no pre- text to infringers.
No. 777.—It is hereby notified that LA SOCIÉTÉ COMMERCIALE ET INDUSTRIELLE DE NAPHTE CASPIENNE ET DE LA MER NOIRE has, by assignment, transferred its two trade marks registered on the 29th August, 1890, in respect of Petroleum, in Class 4, to the ASIATIC PETROLEUM COMPANY, LIMITED, of 24 and 28, St. Mary Axe, London, England.
