REPORT ON ORDINANCE No..................

1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled
An Ordinance to amend the Trade Marks Ordinance, 1909
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the
Governor's Instructions.
2. The Trade Marks Ordinance, 1909, and the Rules
made thereunder, require the Registrar of Trade Marks to notify the registered owner of every intended removal of a trade mark
on the ground of non-payment of renewal fees and, if the renewal
fee is not paid, to advertise the fact of non-payment. This has
not been done generally in the case of German and Austro-Hunga-
rian trade marks. It would have been futile to send such a notice
to the former Hong Kong address of the former German or Austro- Hungarian owner, and it is doubtful whether such a notice would
have been a compliance with the Ordinance and Rules. Notices sent
