W. V. Thomson 40t, regarding

&

the

DYL an

amount of fees payable application for registration of -

Trade Marks in

I caused a copy of ~~ Your Lordship's Despatch with its "enclosures to be referred to the 4. Attorney-General, requesting him

4 to furnish

me with his opinion

as to the fees payable under

Ordinance 16 of 1873

of 1873 for

the

registration of Trade Marks. He

has replied as follows:-

"By Ordinance 16 of 1873

"Section

"Section 6 the fees

#

are

made payable

"not on application" but " for

"/

registration", and, as each Trade

Mark is distinct, I think the

"

"registration of each is a distinot: act, and the fees in respect

#

there of should be paid separately, "The fees are prescribed by an

-order of the Governor in Council

#

"

to be found on page 291 of the

Honghong Gazette for 1874. "That -order is somewhat loose in form

#

" and does not correspond in its

#

terms with the schedule of fees

contained
