That the complaint against Japanese piracy is not merely the view of foreign trade rivals is proved by recent utterances of the Japanese Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. Speaking at a dinner given by the Director of the Patent Office on January 14. Mr. K. Malsuoka said:"Among our business men LUZON SUGAR REFINING COMPANY, there are some bringing discredit upon their country: They do not hesitate to imitate foreign products portosteal foreign trademarks,” The Ministesof Commerce proceeded to indicate the steps that Japan would have to take to pre- vent this universal plundering and pleaded for

Where individual claimants have failed to secure the protection of the Japanese Courts, there has always been room for the supposition that there has been a technical flaw in the appeal to the law. Investigation, however, proves that the law itself is as much at fault the inter pretation. put upon it by the judges.. its present state it would be almost

As framed. to-day_the' law, encourages the counterfeiting of trade-marks, and the Patent Bureau which exists ostensibly for the protec tion of trade, whether Japanese or foreign, has been proved to be useless. In the presence of is Director, Mr. Matsuoka urged that care and, impartiality should be shown, and that "not (content with the mere wording of the law, thể officials should enter into its spirit of giving protection to rightful owners." 11-is true that Japan.can point to a clause in its Trade-mark Laws which states that "Trade- marks in regard to which the apprehension exists that they will deceive people cannot be registered," but it would be difficult to adduce an instance where this has been put into effect. Presumably this and other clauses have some manning in respect to imitations of Japanese marks, but as far as the Patent Bureau is concerned, "no consideration to the most widely-known foreign mark is ever shown.
The world is the left, with the uncomfort- able reflexion that neither Japanese law nor |public opinion regard the piracy of foreign trademarks as an offence. It is not contended that the Japanese should botimitate goods manufactured abroad, but the deliberate adop tion of well-known maiks—the “chopi" on which the Chinese especially set so much store is an immoral act designed to de ceive the purchaser, Carried on to the extent now prevailing in Japan it becomes, a national vice, which must in time re-act on the country far more seriously than by merely affecting the fortunes of "the" 1912 Exhibition. It will be well, indeed, if we may look-upon Mr. Matsuoka's notable speech as an indica. tion that the Japanese Government is at last alive to. the seriousness of the situation. He went so far as 10 say that a Japanese applies. tion for the registration of a recognized foreign trade-mark should not be granted even if the mark had not been registered in Japan. If the whole "code" affecting trade-marks could be altered in this'spirit, there would be some pur pose in the ratification of an'agreement on the subject between Great Britain and Japan. But to confirm by written undertaking existing practice In Japan in regard to trade-marka would bring to relief to foreigners in the coun try, while it might serve as a stimulos to dis bouest Japanese traders and others to extend yat further thele piracy enterprise In Chins,
