OFFICE OF COMMISSIONERS OF PATENTS,
November 27th, 1876.
SIR, I am directed by the Commissioners of Patents to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th instant, and to send herewith, in accordance with the wish of the EARL OF CARNARVON, 200 copies of the Amended Rules under the Trade Marks Registration Acts, and of the notice as to Regis- tration of Trade Marks for Cotton Goods.
In transmitting these documents I am directed to draw attention to Rule 5, under which Foreigners resident in the Colonies are admitted to registration in this country upon the same terms as British subjects. It may also be useful to point out that prior registration in the Colony where a Colonial trade-mark owner is resident is not necessary before registration in this Country.
