By Germans

One kind of international law is still honoured by Germany. Treniles, "pacts, commercial agreements, Red Cross conven- tions may be torn up or ignored when convenient, but patent rights are still generally" pected, writes a "Daily Tele graph" reporter.

res

Germans are periodically re- mitting sums to Britain to keep their patent rights alive. Re ciprocally, British subjects are allowed by the Board of Trade to remit to Germany, by way of Portugal and Switzerland, the renewal fees for the patents they own in Germany.

But reports that royalties, pay- ments for the privilege of making uso of German patents in Britain, are being remitted to Germany ard tot true. Such royalties and licence fees have to be sent when due to the Custosilon of Enemy Property, Sir Ernest Fass.

There is a similar arrangement in Germany, the intention being that after the war one fund can be set off against the other and all patent- | owners' claims met.

This reciprocal agreement werkted satisfactorily in the last war, and so far, there is no cause to fear that it will not be carried out again.
