BRITISH APPLICATIONS FOR LICENCES.

It is generally known that the British Government have passed an Act-the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (Temporary Rules) Act, 1014-under which the Board of Trade is authorised to license British firms to use the registered trade marks of alien enomics. No cases have yet been heard, writes a correspon- dent in the Tinies of September 12th, and there is considerable uncertainty as to what principles will guide the Board of Trade in arriving at its decisions in regard to the avoidance or suspension of the registration of trade marks the pro- prietors of which are the subjcets of a state at war with his Majesty

In the case of a well-advertised article there is a considerable property in the registered trade mark and,naturally enough, many British firms would be eager to seize the opportunity to secure the benefit of the good will in such trade mark and to profit.by licence to mark their own manufactures with the mark heretofore exclusively the property of the original makersy S

On the other hand, in many cases B considerable outlay would be necessary. before business could be done, and before embarking on such expenditure a British frin is naturally anxious to know how long it will enjoy the benefit if a licence is granted by the Board. The first case. will not be heard until September 17th, when an application in the name of H. S.. Wellcome, Snow-hill-buildings, will be heard in respect of the trade mark "Salvarsan.".

BOARD OF TRADE POLICY: Meanwhile, it is interesting to consider what are the lines on which the Board of Trade is likely to proceed It is safe to say that there is no intention on the part of the Board to allow confiscation. The object of the Act was to enable the Board to grant liceness to British firms to meet any public demand that might arise and not to enable the British manufacturer to appropriate indefinitely the property even of an alien enemy.⠀

If there is any idea on the part of the commercial community that, by the more. payment of a fee of a couple of pounds, it will be possible to obtain the right to exploita Gormon mark, such an idea should be at once set aside. It is certain that, whatever else the Board of Trade may do, it will not consider any applica tion which is not absolutely bond fiddle, and the applicant, in all cases, will certainly have to show that to grant him a licenes would be a benefit to the State.
