Ta under the title of." The Merchandize
Marks Ordinance, 1863" At that early period the history of the Colony, the principal
business bouses were in the hands of British merchants who in many if not in mosi, cases bad their offices in London and did not confine their trade to the recently ac quired Colony of Hongkong. Consequently whatever trade-marks they had adopted had usually been in use in England and were registered under the English Act. And the proprietors of trade-marks affixed to goods placed on this market were for the most part resident in Europe. The result was that the obtaining of proof of their right to the exclusive use of their marks involved an enormous waste of time and money. Accordingly, in 1873, an Ordinance was passed to provide easy means of proof of the common law rights of proprie tore of trade-marks recognised in England. The Orinance conferred nd rights on the party registering, and the advantages to be

that they would obtain some very material advantage by registering their marks. In some cases three persons were found using the same trade mark and under the 1875 Act their right to do so was admitted; but if more than three persons registered the identical or nearly identical mark then it was held that the mark in question was public property and could not be regisièred. Even when amending Ordio- ances were passed with the view of bringing the law of Hongkong into harmony with that of England the difficulties of the proprietor or inventors of trade-marks were not decreased.
