Sir,

Board of Trade to Foreign Office.—(Received July 10.)

Board of Trade, July 9, 1906.

I AM directed by the Board of Trade to advert to your letter of the 9th March last, on the subject of the proposed Regulations for the registration of trade-marks in China, and inclosing copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington suggesting an amendment of Article 25 of the draft Regulations forwarded by Sir E. Satow in his despatch of the 13th June, 1905.

In reply I am to state that the Board have been in communication with the Chambers of Commerce at Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool, and with the China Association, with reference to this matter, and I am to transmit to you the accompanying copy of the application made by the Board to the bodies named, and of the answers which have been received thereto. It will be observed that none of these bodies specifically refer to the suggestion contained in the last paragraph of your letter under reply, and the Board themselves have some doubt as to the real effect of the suggestion if adopted. It appears to them that the point as to the procedure in regard to objections to applications for the registration of marks, so far as regards the time within which objections may be lodged, is already fully dealt with in Article 5 of the draft, and that this procedure may, on the whole, be considered as generally satisfactory. I am to add that the Board concur in the opinion expressed by the Chambers of Commerce and the China Association that the interests of British subjects and trade would be best served by allowing Article 25 of the draft Regulations to remain in its present shape.

I am, &c.

(Signed) ARTHUR WILSON FOX.

Inclosure 1 in No. 1.

I am, &c. (Signed) T. W. P. BLOMEFIELD.

Manchester Chamber of Commerce to Board of Trade.
