DECISION, IN FAVOUR OF FOREIGN FIRM. The Oficial Gasetis of the 5th_Instant pub lishes the decision of the Patent Bureau Court in the petition of Messrs, Kullman, Salz & 004- leather-manufacturers, Bapacia, Californis, U.S.A., represented by Mr. W. A, de Havil land, patent agent, of Tokyo, against Morka Ribel, No, 61, Karamono-machi, z-chomo, Osaka, for invalidation of" the_registration of trade.. - mark No.19,279. The Court upheld the path. tioners' case and entered a decision in their favour.
In the petion the American firm maintain. ed that trade-mark No. 19,279, held by respon "dent, was identical in all respects with the one registered in the United States on December 15th, 1896 by petitioners, and numbered 29,398. it was registered to denota the rame class of goods as was dealt in by respondent, so that, his mark was liable to mislead the public. The design of the trade-mark held by the com. „plessant firm was quite a novel and peculiar one, so that to argue that respondent or any other firm could "accidentally" bit upon tha arma dexigo and use it for the same class of -manufacture was bigbly improbable. The trade-mark la question represented a bear placing its fore paws on the branch of an oak: tree on which ware two scoras.“ Such a design was most unusual, and it was the novelty and pecullarity of it that so much attracted the attention of the public, making. the company's brand widely known throughout the world. The petitioners maintained that respondent's trade-mark was clearly an imitation of theirs, and although the latter was not registered la Japan, it had been known, and in are much longer than the imitation. The trade-mark was imilated for the purpose of decalving the publie as to the quality of the leather for, which it was osed. The trade-mark bold by respondent fell under the category No.3 of Article 11, of the "Trade-mark Law. It was evident from exbi- | bits put in that petitioners were using the same trade-mark on the same merchandise.
