Sir,

Foreign Office to the Sheffield Cutlers' Company.*

Foreign Office, November 30, 1908. In reply to your letter of the 6th instant, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to inform you that His Majesty's Government have been engaged for some time in negotiating with the Japanese Government a Convention for the mutual protection of British and Japanese trade-marks in China and Corea, and to communicate to you, for your confidential information, a copy of the latest counter-draft, which was communicated to the Japanese Government in August last.

His Majesty's Ambassador at Tôkio is already giving his attention to the means of preventing the piratical registration of British trade-marks in Corea, and his Excellency proposes, in order to assist the Patent Office in that country in avoiding the registration of pirated marks, to communicate to the Office any facsimiles of British trade-marks in use in Corea with which he may be furnished by firms interested.

I am, &c. (Signed) F. A. CAMPBELL.

* Also to the Trade-marks Defence Union, and the London Chamber of Commerce, mutatis mutandis.

† Counter-draft.
