The letter emphasises that whereas under European, Ameri- can and Japanese law appeal from the registrar of trade marks can be made to a Court of Justice, the proposed law makes no such provision, with the serious consquences that the Registration Bureau is constituted the sole arbiter in disputes regarding registration or infringement.
