(REC. CP 17
22nd September, 1917.
With reference to your letter (44710/1917) of the 14th
September, transmitting copies of correspondence relative to
trade marks registered in Hong Kong in the joint names of Messrs
Soc
Bol
18462 ты. General
W. & C. Dunlop and Kessrs. Meyerink and Company, I am directed
by the Board of Trade to state that they adhere to the view
which was expressed in their letter of February 19th 1916 (C4726)
that in the case of Trade Marks registered in the joint names of
enemy firme and English firms the best course to adopt is to sell
the joint interest of the foreign firm to the English joint
owner, and that they regret that this course should not be
adopted in the present instance.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
obedient Servant,
Your
H. Fondlin
