SECTION 1.

Sir A. Nicolson to the Marquess of Lansdowne,—(Received May 5.)

(No. 80.) My Lord,

Madrid, April 30, 1905. WITH reference to your Lordship's despatch No. 31 of the 31st ultime, which I received on the 27th instant, I have the honour to transmit copy of a note which I have addressed to the Minister of State in regard to the proposed agreement between His Britannic Majesty's Government and that of Spain for the mutual protection of British and Spanish trade-marks in China.

I have, &c.

Inclosure in No. 1.

Sir,

Sir A. Nicolson to Señor de Villa Urrutia.

Madrid, April 29, 1905.

IN a note dated the 1st August of last year this Embassy had the honour of submitting to your Excellency's Department a proposal from His Majesty's Government for the conclusion of an agreement providing for the mutual protection of trade-marks in China, similar to those already existing between His Majesty's Government and the Governments of France, Germany, and Italy.

The Ministry of State in reply, dated the 4th November, accepted the proposal in principle, but asked for further information on a technical point, e.y., as to whether the trade-marks to be protected were such as had been registered in Spain and Great Britain respectively.

I am now instructed by His Majesty's Government to inform you in reply that the agreement contemplated would apply to all marks, i.e., that the British Courts in China would protect Spanish marks whether registered in the United Kingdom or no, and that Spanish Courts in China would protect British marks even though the latter had not been registered in Spain.

The Ministry of State, in its note above referred to, further added that it would only be possible for the Spanish Government to conclude such an agreement after the revision of the Regulations for Spanish Consular jurisdiction in China, then in contemplation, had been effected.

I should be glad to learn from your Excellency whether this difficulty is now removed, and whether the negotiations for the proposed agreement can be proceeded with.

A. NICOLSON.

(Signed)
