THEREAS by a Licence dated the 11th day of February, 1916, His Excellency the Governor, in pursuance of the powers conferred upon him by certain Royal Proclamations relating to Trading with the Enemy, authorised all persons in the Colony of Hongkong, subject to the limitations therein specified, to pay any fees necessary for obtaining the grant, registration or renewal of Patents, Designs or Trade Marks in an enemy country and to pay to enemy agents their charges and expenses in relation to such matters and also to pay on behalf of an enemy fees payable in the Colony or in His Majesty's Dominions on applications for the grant, registration or renewal of Patents, Designs or Trade Marks and to pay the charges and expenses of agents in relation thereto :
And whereas the said Licence was amended by a further Licence issued by me on the 30th day of November, 1917:
And whereas it appears to me that such payments as aforesaid should no longer be authorised:
Now, therefore, I, CLAUD SEVERN, Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Officer Administering the Government of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, hereby revoke the said Licences and give notice that all such payments as aforesaid are from the date hereof prohibited under the Proclama- tions relating to Trading with the Enemy.
