ALTHOUGH the principles of trade mark law are well ascertained, there has been since the 22nd Eliz. (a), a large and increasing amount of litigation relating to trade marks, shewing the value which is set by the world of commerce upon the use of these symbols. It may safely be asserted, that many cases of infringe- ment would never have occurred at all, and many others not have been brought into Court, had there been any ready means of ascertaining the true proprietors of the various trade marks in use in the different branches of trade. To provide these means appears to be the chief object of the short Registration Act, passed on the 15th of July, 1875, and the numerous rules thereunder published in January, 1876. Tlie Act of 1875 has not greatly affected the Merchan- dise Marks Act of 1862. - (a) See the case mentioned by l)oderidge in Southern v. How, Popham, 143. A 2 IV PREFACE. The above mentioned Acts and Kules represent the total result of legislative action on the general subject of trade marks. The case law bearing upon trade marks is scattered over a large area of Reports. The Act of 1875 has rendered it extremely advisable that the owners of valuable trade marks should apply for registration at least three months before the 1st of July, 1876. These circumstances have led the author to believe, that a publication in the present form would meet an existing and pressing want. He has accordingly collected into one small volume the text of the above mentioned Acts and Rules, adding thereto such notes as appeared to be in point, and has prefixed by way of introduction first, such general view of the principles of the law of trade marks, established by the reported cases, as appeared suitable to enable the lay reader and legal student to appreciate the general bearing of the Acts and Rules, and, secondly, a few practical suggestions as to the selection of a trade mark, and directions as to the method of obtaining registration, which he hopes may be useful to those who may have occasion to avail themselves of the Act. The writer has not forgotten that some readers may not have facilities for referring to the reported cases, and PREFACE. V has therefore quoted more at large, and generally written in a style less terse, than he would have attempted had he ventured to write exclusively for the use of the profession. On reading the cases, the writer found many which appeared to have been reported merely to show the bear- ing of special circumstances upon the principles then already established by authority. Many of these cases are not cited in the following pages, but it occurred to the writer that his trouble in referring to the cases not cited, might not be altogether wasted, if he prepared such a list of all the trade mark cases to which he had referred, as might perhaps serve to refresh the memory of the practitioner as to the point or principle decided or mentioned in each case. This list will be found at page vii., and it will be seen that it is prepared in a somewhat novel form. Opposite the name of each case are placed in one column the references to the Reports in which the case appears, and in a separate column such short index of its contents as could be comprised in a few catchwords or a short sentence. As trade mark cases are often known either by the article to which the mark was applied, or by the words forming a portion of the mark itself, the practitioner will, it is hoped, excuse the appearance of such unscientific Vi PREFACE. terms as " the Omnibus Case," " Mexican Balm," and others of a like nature among the catchwords. In presenting this little work to the profession and general public, the writer craves their indulgence, on the ground of the short period which has elapsed since the Eulei were made public, and the importance of proceeding to press at the earliest possible data. 5, OLD SQUARE, LINCOLN'S INN.

The second, com- mencing at page 35, contains practical directions as to obtaining registration, with a few sugges- tions on the selection of a Mark for the purpose of registration, which can be of use only to persons engaged in obtaining or contemplating registration. PART I. Generally speaking, all the Queen's subjects, General all persons residing in her dominions, and the pn " subjects of all friendly states (a), carrying on lawful trading, have the right, if they will, to manufacture or sell goods, and to announce the fact to the public. None of such persons have (a) See for instance the cases in which the Collins Company of America were plaintiffs. 2 TBADE MAKES. Represent- the right to vend goods, not "being goods manu- tions and , . - 111* misrepre- lactured by or coming from the hands of any senutions . , , - , apart from particular person, as manufactured by or coming of trade l from the hands of such particular person. If a trader induces the purchaser of goods to buy them, by affirming contrary to the fact that another trader has had anything to do with them, he cheats two persons, the purchaser and the rival trader; and each of them may sue him in the Civil Courts, and anybody may prosecute him in the name of the Queen by criminal proceedings for a cheat, or for obtaining money under false pretences. In cases where, on a sale of goods in this manner, the trader sells goods inferior to those which he represents them to be, he thereby damages the person whose goods he represents them to be, in two ways ; first, he has sold what the rival trader, or those buying from him, would otherwise have sold ; secondly, he has passed off an inferior article as being his rival's production, whereby his rival's reputation will be prejudiced, and in either case the rival trader may suffer in pocket. But it is not necessary in an action for damages, founded on such misrepresentations, that the rival should prove the inferiority in the goods sold, or any specific damage, to entitle himself to some damages (a). Instances might be given of injunctions issued on the ground of the specific misrepresentation that an article sold by one is the article of the (a) Blofitld v. Paine, 4 B. & Ad. 410. TRADE MARKS. other where no question of trade mark would arise. Thus in Seeley v. Fisher (a), although an injunction was refused upon the facts, it was held that where there are two rival works, the Court will restrain the proprietor of one from advertising it in terms calculated to induce the public to believe that it is the other work, but will not restrain him from publishing an adver- tisement tending to disparage that other work ; a mere libel or disparagement of property not giving a right to an injunction (&). Every man therefore has a right to prevent General . 111-1 i proposition. goods other than his being sold as his by another person. In this proposition, and generally in trade mark cases, the word " his " and expressions tantamount thereto are used for the sake of convenience, not with the meaning of present ownership, but to denote some connection of the person whose the goods are said to be, with the goods. . If Jones is or has been engaged in manufac- turing, selling, inspecting, or doing anything in connection with goods, Smith must not sell goods with which Jones has had nothing to do, and in selling them affirm them to be goods with which Jones has had something to do, either by using the expression " Jones's goods " or .by any other means of representation. (a 11 Sim. 581 ; 10 L. J. Ch. 275. (b) Prudential Assurance Co. v. Knott, L. K. 10 Ch. 142. B 2 4 TRADE MARKS. Thus for instance, if Jones manufactures iron, Smith in selling iron which Jones has not manu- factured may, with reference to the quality of the iron sold, say that it is as good as, or better than Jones's, but he must not say "this is Jones's quality," even if the qualities are scientifically identical, lest the public draw the not unreasonable deduction that iron which is of Jones's quality is Jones's iron, so long as there is any danger of the public drawing such a deduction. It may be, if Jones had manufactured iron of a par- ticular kind in a particular way, and Jones is well-known to have died long since, that in using the expression Jones's quality, Smith does not mean, and no one would take him to mean, that Jones or his successors in business had had anything to do with the particular iron sold, in which case he might use the expression " Jones's quality" lawfully (a), but in this and similar instances Smith would not be making such misrepresentation as we have seen to be un- lawful. Represents- T ne representations which may, and the tions may be made by misrepresentations which may not be made, as to express or . circumstan- the relation of specific goods to specific traders or tial affirm- . . ation. manufacturers, are, it is evident, capable of being made, either by express verbal or written affirm- ation, or impliedly by what may be called circum- stantial affirmation. (a) James v. James, L. K. 13 Eq. 421. TRADE MARKS. O If a notice is put in the window of a public instances of i < circumstan- house that only Bass s ale is sold there, or it a tiai affirm- customer asks for Bass's ale, or seeing a bottle of ale with Bass's label upon it, says he will buy that bottle ; in all these cases it is as much affirmed to him that the liquor he obtains is Bass's ale, as if the landlord told him so in so many words, or gave him a written statement of the fact. The representation which every man may make HOW repre- * J J sentations to the public, as to his connection with his goods, may be may be made in any form which does not interfere made. with the rights of others, either in making the like representations as to their own goods or otherwise. Hence, any man may select a mark to be applied By marks, to his goods as a means of making representations if propeHy '' to the public, and will be protected in the use of this mark so long as he does not select as his Conditions mark one which is calculated to interfere with choice^ the rights of others. It will be agreed on a little consideration, Mark selected that to use any mark which is already in use in must not be i i 1-11 already in the same trade either generally or by particular use. persons, is the chief instance in which the pro- tected use of the selected mark would be cal- culated to interfere with the rights of others. In other words, the mark selected must be capable of being used exclusively by the person adopting it. Altering the phrase once more, and taking the TKADE MARKS. Exclusive preliminary proposition for granted, the right public to use a mark, for the purpose of making re- presentations as to the relation of the person adopting the mark to the goods to which it is applied, must be acquired by exclusive public user (a), though the period of exclusive user need not be for any great length of time (6). Ji/rction* 1 ^ s * ^ e bJ ec tion that by allowing one person to select, and be protected in his selec- tion, of a particular trade mark on his goods, the rights of others must be pro tanto inter- fered with it is a theoretical objection which attaches to all private rights (c) ; but it may be remarked (1) that the use of the mark, as a mark, cannot be intrinsically valuable, and that if A. uses the symbol of a bear on guns made by him, when this symbol is not otherwise in use in the trade, and B. another gun-maker subse- quently objects to A.'s so doing, and in protest begins to mark his own guns with a bear mark, it would appear more than probable that his object was not so much the assertion of an abstract right as the perpetration of a concrete wrong the stealing of the benefit of A.'s repu- tation as a gun-maker ; (2) that the danger of interfering with the right of others has been so (a) Lawson v. Bank of London, 18 C. B. 84 ; Maxwell v. Hogg, L. R 2 Ch. 307. As to the effect of the Act of 1875 upon this doctrine see sec. 2. (b) M' Andrew v.assett,33L. J. Ch. 561, 4 N. R.12,123.

The Act of 1875 may at first sight appear to Alteration have introduced an alteration in the law requir- by Act of ing exclusive public user, by making registration * 7S ' equivalent to public user (&); and although it may be suggested that registration may be con- sidered as being public user, it must be confessed that the theoretical symmetry of trade mark law is in the Act somewhat sacrificed to the claims of practical convenience. The remaining cases in which the selected mark Remaining would not be protected, because calculated to of proper interfere with the rights of others, are those in EX turpi which the maxim ex turpi causd non oritur actio orUur "ctio. applies ; as would be the case where the mark was trade." e used in a fraudulent trade (c), ,or where the mark itself contained a misrepresentation calculated to Falsehood in deceive the public, the fact of the claimant of [?, mark the mark having been guilty of collateral fraud not being a ground for enabling another person to commit a further fraud with impunity (d).

Use of word An instance of misrepresentation in the mark Patent in trade mark, itself which has frequently come before the Court, is the use of the word Patent, in the trade mark, in a sense which was untrue (a). Deception The deception which arises in these cases was thereby. thus expressed by Wood, V.-C., in refusing an injunction in Morgan v. McAdam (b). "All those who are induced to buy these crucibles thus described as ' Patent Plum- bago Crucibles/ are to a certain extent deceived, because they are led to believe that the article is protected by a patent, and they may be induced to purchase it from the plaintiffs, under the belief that there is a patent, and that the plaintiffs, or at least some limited number of persons, are the only persons authorized to sell it, and further they are led to believe that, if they should be minded to set up any manu- factory of the same kind for themselves, they would be unable to do so, in conse- quence of the plaintiffs being the possessors, either by way of license or . ownership, of a patent preventing the world at large from imitating the article which is sold by them under this particular designation."

How far the owner of goods, which, during the Case of existence of a patent, have become known by a having trade name or mark containing the word patent, " can continue to use the old name or mark, does not appear to be quite decided (a). Of course it would be better, and those who are inclined to act with proper honesty would take care, to put the date of their patent upon the articles which they designate as patented; but when this has not been done, it is submitted that a plaintiff who could adduce strong proof that the word patent had become a mere descriptive name or mark of quality, and no longer made to the public the deceptive representations above-men- tioned, would not be deprived of his remedy against an infringer because of the word patent in the plaintiff's trade mark (&). Prior to the passing of the Act of 1875, in Essential particulars cases not connected with the Act of 1862. but of trade mark not founded on circumstantial misrepresentation, the important . before the question whether the misrepresentation was made passing of the Act oi by means of a trade mark or by some other form 1875. of circumstantial affirmation, which involves the question of what the essential particulars of a trade mark are, was not of so great importance as (a) See Edelsten v. Vick, 11 Hare 78 ; Lord Kingsdown's remarks on that case in the Leather Cloth Co.'s case ubi supra, and Morgan v. McAdam, ubi suprd. (b) Marshall v. Ross, L. R. 8 Eq. 651.

M M. Act, This section makes it important for a trader to keep his 1862, ss. stock accounts in such a manner as to enable him readily ' ' to give the information here mentioned. Inability to give the information would not, it is presumed, be a ground of relief against the penalties here imposed upon neglect, and in the case of proceedings being instituted against him under sec. 4 the trader would have to prove his innocence instead of being able in the first instance to call upon the other side to prove his guilty knowledge. When goods with improper marks thereon are in the hands of innocent consignees, wharfingers, and others, who are at the most distributors, and not vendors, and cannot be said even to procure a sale of the goods, the owner of the trade mark is not without remedy, as he can obtain the removal of the marks by civil proceedings for an in- junction (a). As to what course such innocent persons should pursue on becoming acquainted with the facts, see the cases cited below (a). Marking any 7.

This section would probably have had greater effect if the Act had provided for the appointment of some one whose duty it should be to take action thereunder. An article may be falsely indicated as being the subject of an existing patent, either when there is an existing patent as to such articles and the particular article is not the subject thereof, or when there is no such patent in existence. It does not clearly appear whether the Act was intended to apply to both these cases or only th former, but in any case it must be remembered that fraudulent intent is an essential ingredient in the offence, and that there are many cases in which the word " patent " occurs in a trade mark, the right to which was gained by 5 6 TRADE MARKS.

[13th August 1875.] BE it enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent T.Y.E.Act, 1875 Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of 72 TRADE MARKS. T.M.E.Act the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, ' in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : Registration 1. A register of trade marks as defined by of trade * marks. this Act, and of the proprietors thereof, shall be established under the superintendence of the Commissioners of Patents, and from and after the 1st day of July, 1876, a person shall not be entitled to institute any proceeding to prevent the infringement of any trade mark as defined by this Act, until and unless such trade mark is registered in pursuance of this Act. For the definition of a trade mark for the purposes of this Act, see sec. 10. The register when open, which cannot be till three months after the first publication of the official paper (see rules 12, 13, and 16), will be keptj in the Trades' Marks Registry Office, at No. 4, Quality Court, 47, Chancery Lane, W.C., where it will be open to public inspection under the regulations referred to in rule 40. As to the method of obtaining registration, see the rules (p. 91), and the directions (p. 39). The owners of Sheffield marks do not appear to be restrained by this section from instituting proceedings to prevent infringement, see sec. 9, clause 7, and note thereon. It is submitted that this section will have no operation in cases founded upon the defendants having passed off goods not the plaintiff's as the plaintiff's, so long as the plaintiff can establish his case without giving his trade mark in evidence, with a view of shewing that the defendant has copied it. In these cases, however, questions of practical diffi- culty will occur where the plaintiff proposes to show that the defendant has copied the plaintiff's advertisements, or TRADE MARKS. 73 other indicia of his connexion with goods, not being his T.M E.Act, trade mark, and the defendant alleges that what the 1875, s. 1. plaintiff affirms not to be his trade mark, is in reality his trade mark, and ought to have been registered as such. A question would seem to be likely to arise under sec. 1 of the Act read in conjunction with the rules 5, 12, 16, 20, and 21 whether during the period to elapse between the sending in of the statement required by rule 5 and the receipt of the notice provided for by rule 21 a person claiming to be the owner of a trade mark will be able, on or after the 1st of July, 1876, to institute any proceeding for the prevention of the infringement of his trade mark if it corresponds with the definition in the Act. The Act says that no such proceeding shall be instituted until and unless the trade mark is registered, and in a suit so insti- tuted, assuming a case for an injunction were made out in all other respects, it would be open to the defendant to object that the plaintiff was barred from claiming an in- junction on the ground that the registration required by the first section of the Act had not been perfected. On an interlocutory application, or at the trial, if the registra- tion were not then perfected, it is conceived that the objection would be valid and fatal to the plaintiff ; but it is submitted that if the registration should be completed before the trial or before the hearing of any interlocutory application upon which it could be raised, the objection would be futile. A somewhat similar case used to arise under the old practice in Chancery, where a plaintiff filing a bill in the character of a legal personal representative alleged in his bill the grant of probate or letters of administration. It was always held in such cases that the fact, that at the date the bill was filed the plaintiffs title had not been completed, was no objection to the suit at the hearing if the grant had then been obtained, although it might be raised by way of plea or in evidence on any interlo- cutory application, if at the date of the plea or of the interlocutory application there had been no grant. See E 74 TRADE MARKS. T.M.K.Act, Daniell's Chan, Prac. page 301, 4th edition, and the cases 1875, B. 1. there citei It is also submitted that the principle upon which the somewhat similar case ofLemanv. Houscley (L. R. 10 Q. B. 66) was decided does not apply to this Act. There it was held that an apothecary, whether registered at the commencement of the action or only at the trial, could not sue for services rendered while unregistered. It is to be observed, however, that by the 55 Geo. 3, c. 194, s. 20, the very rendering of such services is prohibited, and although the 32nd section of the 21 & 22 Vic. c. 90 would seem to point to registration at the date of trial being sufficient, yet it is clear that there is a considerable dif- ference between having a locus standi and having a cause of action. One thing, however, is quite certain, that it is desirable for every owner of a trade mark to register at once, so as to avoid any such question. As any proceedings under the Criminal Clauses of the Act, of 1 862 (see p. 43) are instituted in the name of the Crown this section, whatever interpretation may be put upon it in civil matters, cannot affect such criminal pro- ceedings It is difficult to lay down beforehand any guide as to what proceedings will be held to be proceedings to prevent infringement. It is submitted, however, that proceedings to prevent continued i. e. future infringements, and for relief in the nature of, and consequent upon an injunction, are the only proceedings for prevention of infringement, to obtain which registration is necessary. In support of this view it may be urged : i. That the Act is a dis-enabling Act, and must be construed strictly, and that the grammatical meaning of "prevention" is certainly not recovery of damages in respect of that which has, ex hypothesi in an action for damages, not been prevented. ii. That the Act of 1862, which is in pari materid has by sec. 22 (see that section, p. 67), enacted that the TRADE MAEKS. 75 person aggrieved by the wrongful acts there mentioned T.BLE.Act, (forgeries of trade marks, &c.) " shall be entitled to main- 1875, s. 1. tain an action or suit for damages in respect thereof and for preventing the repetition or continuance of the wrongful act, and the committal of any similar act." That the rights there given ought not to be taken away, except by express enactment or necessary implication and that the distinction there drawn between cure and pre- vention, would have been again drawn had it been intended that the Act of 1875 should deal with cure as well as prevention. iii. That it would be strange if A. were allowed to take advantage of bis knowledge that B. had not registered his trade mark to cheat B. with impunity so far as the civil remedy of B. was concerned. If the strict construction contended for above is wrong, and actions for damages are within the mischief of this statute, various question may arise, to the considerations of which the following part of this note is directed. Thus a question may arise whether the infringement of a trade mark, unregistered at the date of infringe- ment, can be relied on as the ground of an action for damages, brought on or after the 1st of July, 1876, by a proprietor who has subsequently obtained registration. In considering this point, a distinction may be made between infringements committed before the 1st of July, 1876, and infringements committed on or after that date. There are no words in the Act expressly protecting either class of infringements, and it is submitted that as to infringements committed before the 1st of July, 1876, there is no reason why a right of action which would clearly have been enforceable in a suit commenced on the 30th of June, should not be enforced in a suit commenced on the 2nd of July. As to infringements on or after the 1st of July, 1876, and before registration, it may be argued that inasmuch as a person proposing to use a particular mark, has, by the register, a means afforded him of seeing whether there is any similar trade mark on the register, E 2 76 TRADE MARKS. T.M.R.Act, and so avoiding an infringement, he has a right, after 1875, 8. 2. the 1st of July, 1876, to assume that if there is no such trade mark on the register there is none in use, the owner of which would object to the use of this mark by any other person. In addition, however, to the argu- ments above urged in support of the writer's view of the construction of this section, it is clear that in many cases, to allow such defence to prevail, would work injustice. For instance, in the case of a series of infringements extending over the whole of the current year, why should the infringer be in a better or worse position as to in- fringements committed in the first six month than in respect of those committed in the second six months of the year. Character- 2. A trade mark must be registered as belonar- isticsof . . registered ing to particular goods, or classes of goods ; and trade mark. , j i i n i when registered shall be assigned and transmit- ted only in connexion with the goodwill of the business concerned in such particular goods or classes of goods, and shall be determinable with such goodwill, but subject as aforesaid, registration of a trade mark shall be deemed to be equivalent to public use of such mark. For the purposes of the rules, which by sec. 7 and rule 64 are to be construed as if they were part of the Act, goods are divided into 50 classes, (see rule 1 and schedule 1). Before the 1st January, 1876, protection in the use of a trade mark could only be obtained after adducing evidence of exclusive public user prior to the infringe- ment complained of, see Introduction p. 5, and Lawson v. Bank of London, 18 C. B. 84, extensive publication of the intention to acquire the right to the trade mark being insufficient, Maxwell v. Hogy, ~L. E., 2 Ch. 307. The latter part of this iection renders registration, which dates TRADE MARKS. 77 from the date of the application for registration (rule T.M.E.Act, 20), equivalent to public user. Registration will thus 1875, s. 3. be extremely useful in cases where it is desired to advertise, either by means of or in connection with a mark or other thing capable of being registered as a trade mark articles not yet in the market. The provision of this section coupling the trade mark with the good-will of the business concerned in the goods as to which the trade mark is registered, are generally in accordance with the law prevailing before the passing of the Act. (Hall v. Barrows, 4 De G. J. & S. 150, 33 L. J. Ch. 204, 10 Jur. N.S. 55 ; Bury v. Bedford, 4 De G. J. & S. 352, 10 Jur. N. S. 503). It is not very clear what the meaning of a trade mark being determinable with the good-will of a business may be, nor to suggest a test of a good-will being determined. By rule 34 the Court may remove any trade mark from the registry on the ground, after the expiration of five years from the date of the registry thereof, that the registered proprietor is not engaged in any business concerned in the goods with respect to which a trade mark is registered. There seems to be nothing in the Act or rules to prevent registration of a mark intended to be used in a business to be commenced after registration so long as a goodwill is acquired before assigning or transmitting the mark. 3. The registration of a person as first proprietor Title of first r t * e * propnetor of of a trade mark shall be primd facie evidence of a trademark his right to the exclusive use of such trade mark, and shall, after the expiration of five years from the date of such registration, be conclusive evidence of his right to the exclusive use of such trade mark, subject to the provisions of this Act as to its connexion with the goodwill of a business. For the benefit of the lay reader, it may be remarked 78 TRADE MAEKS. T. Iff .T?. Act, that the term "conclusive" applied to evidence, though 1875, s. 8. somewhat inaccurate, is commonly employed as here to mean, that no other evidence would be required to support, and no evidence admitted to contradict the facts, as to which the conclusive evidence is given. If under sec. 10, a trade mark is registered as having been in use before August 13, 1875, in which case an allegation of such user will have appeared in the statement made on application (rule 6), and in the advertisements in the official paper (rule 12), if not in the register itself (see note on the word "such" in sec. 10), it is clearly reasonable that such registration should be made priind fane evidence of title in the pro- prietor, not only from the date of registration, but also from the 13th of August, 1875, and this may, perhaps, be held to be the effect of this section, sed quaere? Whether under any other circumstances, and if so, to what extent a plaintiff in an action in respect of an infringement alleged to have been committed before registration, could avail himself of this section in proving the existence of his right at the date of the infringement, seems also open to question. The section certainly does not expressly enact, and it is difficult to see upon what ground, other than some supposed policy of the Act, the construction of this section could be so strained as to make the fact of A's. registration in 1876 primd facie evidence of his title in 1874. It is submitted that the term "exclusive" has reference only to the use of the trade mark in respect of the goods or classes of goods as to which it is registered. A case might arise in which two or more persons having adverse claims to the exclusive use of the same trade mark, might be registered as proprietors thereof, either by over- sight or under one of the rules numbered 17, 18, and 19. In the latter case it is submitted, that such inconsistent registrations would not be allowed except within five years from the first registration of the trade mark in question, and then only in cases in which it was deemed TRADE MARKS. 79 necessary to give the person or persons applying for T.M.E.Act, registration subsequently to the first registration of the 1875, si. trade mark in question, a locus standi to institute pro- ' ceedings for the purpose of testing the right in dispute. This would only be in cases in which proceedings under sec. 5 were inapplicable. Registration of separate persons as separate proprietors of one trade mark may, under rule 29, take place with the consent of all persons claiming to be entitled. As to the construction to be put upon the word "exclusive " in such cases, see note to rule 29. 4. Every proprietor registered in respect to a Tide of trade mark subsequently to the first registered cSmingby proprietor shall, as respects his title to that trade pro^rktor- mark, stand in the same position as if his title s were a continuation of the title of the first registered proprietor. 5. If the name of any person who is not for Rectification i * re S' ster - the time being entitled to the exclusive use of a trade mark in accordance with this Act, or other- wise in accordance with law, is entered on the register of trade marks as a proprietor of such trade mark, or if the registrar refuses to enter on the register as proprietor of a trade mark, the name of any person who is for the time being entitled to the exclusive use of such trade mark in accordance with this Act, or otherwise in accordance with law, or if any mark is registered as a trade mark which is not authorised to be so registered under this Act, any person aggrieved may apply in the prescribed manner for an order of the Court that the register may be rectified ; 80 TRADE MARKS. T.M.R. Act and the Court may either refuse such application, ' s ' 'or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register, and may award damages to the party aggrieved. Where each of several persons claims to be registered as proprietor of the same trade mark, the registrar may refuse to comply with the claims of any of such persons until their rights have been determined by the Court, and the registrar may himself submit or require the claimants to submit in the prescribed manner their rights to the Court. The Court may, in any proceeding under this section, decide any question as to whether a mark is or is not such a trade mark as is authorised to be registered under this Act, also any question relating to the right of any person who is party to such proceeding, to have his name entered on the register of trade marks, or to have the name of some other person removed from such register, also any other question that it may be necessary or expedient to decide for the rectification of the register. The Court may direct an issue to be tried for the decision of any question of fact which may require to be decided for the purposes of this section. Whenever any order has been made rectifying the register the Court shall by its order direct that due notice of such rectification be given to the registrar. " The Court " is the Chancery Division of Her Majesty's High Court of Justice (r. 42, p. 113). TRADE MARKS. 81 Applications to the Court may, subject to rules of T.M.K.Act Court under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act, 1875, 1875, s. 6. be made by motion or by application in chambers, or in such other manner as the Court may direct (r. 43). Provision is made by rule 44 for the case of a refusal by the registrar under the circumstances there specified, to comply with the claim of a person to have his name entered on the register as proprietor of a trade mark, and where rule 44 is in point an application under sec. 5 and rule 43 would probably be irregular. As to the entry of rectification on the register, see r. 36. 6. The registrar shall not, without the special Restrictions leave of the Court, to be given, in the prescribed of trad'e ry manner, register in respect of the same goods or m ' classes of goods a trade mark identical with one which is already registered with respect to such goods or classes of goods, and the registrar shall not register with respect to the same goods or classes of goods a trade mark so nearly resembling a trade mark already on the register with respect to such goods or classes of goods as to be cal- culated to deceive. It shall not be lawful to register as part of or in combination with a trade mark any words the exclusive use of which would not, by reason of their being calculated to deceive or otherwise, be deemed entitled to protection in a Court of equity, or any scandalous designs. As to the first part of this section, see rules 18 and 19, and notes thereon. As to what words would not by reason of their being calculated to deceive or otherwise, have been at the date of the passing of this Act, deemed entitled to protection E 5 82 TRADE MARKS. T.M R.Act, in a Court of equity, see Ford v. Foster, L. E. 7 Ch. 611, 1875, s. 7. where the older cases are cited and explained. The judgment of Mellish, L. J., in that case refers to the maxim Ex turpi causd non oritur actio as the common principle upon which a trade mark case might fail either at law or in equity. The dictum of the same learned judge concerning the non-existence of any reported trade mark case in which the above maxim was applied at common law may account for the form of the reference in the above section (L. R. 7 Ch. at p. 630). The circumstances under which a Court of equity would refuse protection to a trade mark which was not calculated to deceive cannot of course be enumerated, but an obvious instance would be where the trade in which the trade mark was to be employed was in itself unlawful. It is presumed that the prohibition of this section would be deemed to apply, if the objectionable words formed the whole trade mark and not a portion only. Establish- 7.

Any rules made in pursuance of this section shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament if Parliament be then sitting, or if not then sitting, then within ten days from the then next as- sembling of Parliament, and shall be of the same validity as if they had been enacted by Parlia- ment ; provided that if either House of Parlia- ment resolve, within one month after such rules have been laid before such House, that any of such rules ought not to continue in force, any rule in respect of which such resolution has been passed shall, after the date of such resolution, cease to be of any force, without prejudice, never- theless, to the making of any other rule in its place, or to anything done in pursuance of any such rules before the date of such resolution.

Within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner the Cutlers' Com- pany shall at their own expense deliver to the registrar under this Act copies of all Sheffield corporate marks in force at the time of such delivery : ^2.) When any person, after the passing of this Act, applies to the said master, wardens, searchers, and assistants to assign to him any mark or device, notice of such application, with a copy of such mark or device, shall, within the prescribed time and in the pre- scribed manner, be delivered to the registrar under this Act ; and such TRADE MABKS. 85 mark or device shall not be assigned T.M.E.Act, until after the expiration of the pre- ' *' scribed period from the giving of such notice. In like manner, when any person applies for the registration under this Act of a trade mark as belonging to any goods or class of goods specified in sec. 2 of the Cutlers' Company's Act of 1860, notice of such application, with a copy of such trade mark, shall within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner, be delivered to the Cutlers' Company; and such trade mark shall not be registered until after the expiration of the prescribed period from the giving of the last-mentioned notice : (3.) Upon the assigning of any such mark or device, or the registration of any such trade mark as aforesaid, notice of the assignment or registration shall, within the prescribed time and in the pre- scribed manner, be given to the regis- trar under this Act, or to the Cutlers' Company, as the case may be : (4.)

The master, wardens, searchers, and assistants of the Cutlers' Company shall not assign to any person a mark or device identical with any trade mark registered under this Act, and notice of the registration whereof shall have been given to the Cutlers' Company as afore- said, or so nearly resembling the same as to be calculated to deceive : (6.) Any person to whom a Sheffield corporate mark legally belongs shall be entitled to have the same mark registered also as a trade mark under this Act, in respect of any particular goods or classes of goods, in the same manner, and upon the same terms and conditions in and upon which he might have registered the same if it were not a Sheffield corporate mark. (7.) Nothing in this Act shall prejudice or affect the rights and privileges of the Cutlers' Company, nor, save as is other- wise in this Act expressly provided, shall any of the provisions of this Act apply to or in the case of any Sheffield corporate mark.

(3). See rules 54 and 55. (7). Considering the scope of this section and the absence of any provisions which might be expected if it was intended that the owners of Sheffield marks were to be affected by sec. 2, it is submitted that the words "expressly provided" in this clause must be construed as equivalent to "provided with express reference to the Cutlers' Company, &c." A question as to the assignability of a Sheffield cor- porate mark otherwise than by a surrender to the Com- pany, and re-grant was decided in Bury v. Bedford, 4 De G. J. & S. 352, 10 Jur. N.S. 55.

A trade mark consists of one or more of the Trade mark, following essential particulars ; that is to say, A name of an individual or firm printed, TRADE MARKS. T.M.E.Act, impressed, or woven in some particular 1875, 8. 10. and distinctive manner ; or A written signature or copy of a written signature of an individual or firm ; or A distinctive device, mark, heading, label, or ticket ; and there may be added to any one or more of the said particulars any letters, words, or figures, or combination of letters, words or figures ; also Any special and distinctive word or words or combination of figures or letters used as a trade mark before the passing of this Act may be regis- tered as such under this Act. Prescribed. Prescribed " means prescribed by general rules made in pursuance of this Act ; and Court " Court" means any of Her Majesty's superior courts of law or equity at Westminister, or any court to which the jurisdiction of such courts may be transferred, or any one or more of such courts which may be declared to be the court for the purposes of this Act by such general rules as aforesaid ; but the provisions of this Act conferring a special jurisdiction on the court as above defined shall not, excepting so far as such jurisdic- tion extends, affect the jurisdiction of any court in Scotland or Ireland in causes, actions, suits, or proceedings relating to trades marks ; and if the register requires to be rectified in consequence of any pro- ceedings in any such court in Scotland or Ireland, due notice of such requirements TRADE MARKS. 89 shall be given to the registrar, and he shall T.M.B.Act, rectify the register accordingly. ' *' ' In this section the word " figures" is used as equivalent to " numbers " and does not in elude " devices " and " marks." The name of an individual or firm can only be registered as a trade mark when printed, impressed, or woven in some particular and distinctive manner. This appears to be a very proper stipulation to insert. A name, may become merely equivalent to a mark and cease to denote that the article on which it appears was made by or passed through the hands of the person whose name is on the article (see Hall v. Harrows 33 L. J. Ch. 204, 4 De G. J. & S. 150) but if all names could be registered as trade marks, the use of a name for its primary purpose would be much hampered and it might even be urged that a person who had unintentionally used name as a trade mark could be defeated on proceedings for an injunction against a fraudulent person who used the name as a trade mark, on the ground that the person whose name was used had not registered it. There is one drawback which attaches to the use of a name as a trade mark, whether it be registered or not ; namely, that if it be used by a person other than the original person described by the name, the public may be deceived. In this case, however, registration and assign- ment under the Act, would not, in a civil action, rebut a defence founded on the deception practised by the plaintiff, nor, in criminal cases, prevent conviction. If an artist or artisan has acquired by his personal skill and ability, a reputation which gives to his works in the market a higher value than those of other artists or artisans he cannot give any other persons the right to affix his name or mark to the goods, because he cannot give to them a right to practise a fraud upon the public (a). In such cases as these it is presumed that the regis- trar would be justified in refusing to register a transfer. (a) Leather Cloth Company v. American Leather Cloth Company , 11 H. L. Ca. at p. 545. 90 TBADE MARKS. T.M.R.Act, It is submitted that where a mark has in any branch of 1875, a. 11. trade become puUici juris it is no longer a distinctive mark. It will be observed that the permission to add any letters, words, or figures, or combination of letters, words, or figures to the essential particulars renders it possible though not perhaps expedient to register, as a trade mark something more corresponding to an advertisement than to the general notion of a trade mark. See remarks of the L.C. on this point in the Leather Cloth Co. v. American Leather Cloth Co., 11 H.L. Ca. 523, 35 L.J. Ch. 53. The definition of a trade mark in this section must be taken in connection with the latter part of section 6. The provision of the Act, with regard to any special or dis- tinctive word, &c., used as a trade mark, before the passing of the Act permits the registration of a trade mark existing at the date of the Act, although it may not correspond with the definition of a trade mark adopted for the purposes of the Act. Those who have, since the passing of the Act, or may hereafter adopt trade marks not in accordance with the definition, will not be able to register such marks. It is submitted that the word " such " in this clause, refers to the words trade mark. This clause therefore, does not provide for any distinction being made in the register between old and new trade marks, even in the case of the particular class of old trade marks here referred to ; nor does it appear from any other part of the Act, nor from any of the rules, that any such distinction is necessarily to be made (see rule 20). The " Court," has by general rule 42, for the pur- poses of the Act, been declared to be the Chancery Division of Her Majesty's High Court of Justice. It is perhaps unnecessary to point out, that there is nothing in the Act or rules to limit the plaintiff in an action for infringement in his selection of a forum. Short title of 11.

For the purposes of these Rules goods are ciassifica- ,.,.., ,1 , tion of goods classified in the manner appearing in the first in schedule, schedule hereto. See sec. 2 of the Act p. 76. The first schedule will be found at p. 122. 2. The fees to be charged in pursuance of these Fees, rules are the fees specified in the second schedule hereto. See page 134. 3. If any doubt arises as to what class any Dctermina- particular description of goods belongs to, the as > tociases. doubt shall be determined by the registrar. As to wares made of mixed materials, see note at the end of schedule 1. 96 TEADE MARKS. T.M.B. Act 4.

Application for Registry. Proceedings 5. A person, whether a British subject or an tion. alien, desiring to register a trade mark shall apply to the registrar by sending to him a statement accompanied by such declaration as is hereinafter mentioned and the prescribed fee. " Such declaration " see rule 9. Applications must be addressed as follows : The Registrar, Trade Marks Registry Office, Quality Court, 47, Chancery Lane, W.C. See rule 62 Th e J ma y either be delivered by hand or sent prepaid by post, but an application will not be attended to unless it is accompanied by the proper fees specified in schedule 2 of the rules. Fees will not be received in cash. They may be paid by a Post Office Order payable to the Registrar at the General Post Office, London ; or, if they exceed five pounds, may be paid by a cheque drawn to the " Registrar of Trade Marks or Bearer," and crossed " Bank of England." Each application for the registry of a trade mark or marks must be accompanied by a statement, on foolscap paper, of the following particulars : TEADE MAEKS. 97 1. Name and address of applicant. T.M.E. Act (Example.) John Jones, 1875. 'Moon Street, R* 1 * 6. Birmingham, Pharmaceutical Chemist. 2. Account of fees for trade mark or marks required. (Examples.) s. d. One trade mark in class 4 - - - 1 or Two trade marks in class 20 - - - 1 10 or One trade mark in four classes - - 1 6 The post office orders or crossed cheques enclosed for payment of fees should be fastened to the form of account of fees. 6. The statement shall contain the following Contents of statement particulars : on appiica- A. The name and address and calling of the applicant : and B. The description or reference to a description of the trade mark to be registered : and C. The class or classes of goods (being some one or more of the classes mentioned in the first schedule), and the particular description or descriptions of goods in such class or classes, with respect to which he desires the trade mark to be registered : and D. In the case of a trade mark used before the passing of this Act, a description of the goods in respect of which it has been used, and the length of time during which it has been so used. See the forms A. and B. given in schedule 3, post. P 98 TRADE MARKS. T.H.R. Act It is submitted that the fact of particulars as to the 1875. description of goods in respect of which the trade mark is Rules 7, 8. desired to be registered being 'required to be inserted in the statement does not take away the privilege impliedly given by sec. 2 of the Act of registering a trade mark in respect of a whole class. One reason why an applicant has to state the fact if his trade mark was in use before the passing of the Act (13th August, 1875), is that the registrar in such cases does not have to see whether the trade mark corresponds with the usual definition of a trade mark for the purposes of the Act, but will apply a different test. See the Act, sec. 10, and note thereon, p. 90. Requisites 7. The above statement must bear a date and ' be signed by the applicant. Subject to any other directions that may be given by the registrar, the statement sent to the registrar shall be upon foolscap paper of a size of thirteen inches by eight inches, and shall have on the left-hand part thereof a margin of not less than one inch and a half. Where practicable, all the papers sent in to the registrar should be of the same size, and have the same margin. Nature 8. Subject to any other directions that may be represent- given by the registrar, a description of a trade mark tr le mark shall be given in writing, and shall be accompanied, when practicable, by a drawing or other representation in duplicate not less than three inches square, on foolscap paper of the size aforesaid, or by pasting or otherwise fastening on such paper a specimen of the trade mark. Where a drawing or other representation or Til AD E MAHKS. 99 specimen cannot be given in manner aforesaid, a TMt.ll. Act specimen or copy of the trade mark may be sent. .,,,,. . , / , . Kules8-10. either 01 lull size or on a reduced scale, and in such form as may be thought most convenient. The registrar may, if dissatisfied with the representation of a trade mark, require a fresh representation either before he proceeds with the application or before he registers the trade mark. The registrar may also, in exceptional cases, deposit in the Patent Museum a specimen or copy of a trade mark which cannot conveniently be placed on his register, and may refer thereto in his register in such manner as he thinks advisable. 9. The declaration must be on foolscap paper Declaration 1 1 tO aCCOm - oi the above-mentioned size, and must verify the pany appii- statement, and declare that, to the best ' of the applicant's knowledge and belief, he is lawfully entitled to use the trade mark, and must be made and subscribed as herein-after mentioned. For form of declaration, see schedule 3, form C. As to when the registrar may dispense with a declara- tion, see rule 57. As to the manner in which and persons before whom a declaration must be taken, see rule 58. As to the seal or signature of the officer taking the declaration proving itself, see rule 59. As to making declarations, and doing other acts on behalf of infants, lunatics, &c., see rule 60. 10. Where an application for the registry of a Application trade mark is made by or on behalf of a corporate * or quasi corporate body of persons, the statement F 2 100 TRADE MARKS. T.M.R. Act and declaration shall be made by the secretary or 1875 other principal officer of the body of persons ; Boles 10- , , r . * i 14. and the registrar may require such proof as he thinks fit that the application made is duly authorised by such body of persons. The registrar will probably be satisfied with proof of a resolution authorising the application by the person who applies having been passed by the governing body. Acknow- 11. On receipt of the application the registrar ledgment of r . rr application shall send to the applicant an acknowledgment by registrar. thereof. Advertisement of Application and Notice of Opposition. Advertise- 12. As soon as may be after the receipt of an ment of . J application, application made as provided by these rules, the registrar shall require the applicant to insert an advertisement of the application in the official paper, during such time, and in such form, and generally in such manner as the registrar may think desirable, and distinguishing whether the mark has or has not been used before the 13th day of August, 1875. Definition of 13. The official paper for the purposes of these official paper. rules shall be some paper published under the direction of the Commissioners of Patents, or such other paper as such Commissioners, or any one of them, may from time to time direct. Means of 14. For the purposes of such advertisement the advertising trade mark applicant may be required to furnish the printer TRADE MARKS. 101 of the official paper with a wood block or electro- T.M.R. Act 1875 type of the trade mark, of such dimensions as may from time to time be directed by the registrar 15 or with such other information or means of to be sup- advertising the trade mark as may be allowed by offidaipaper. the registrar. 15. A notice of opposition may be given by Notice and sending to the registrar, together with the pre- for opposi- scribed fee, a written notice in duplicate, on foolscap paper of such size as aforesaid, stating the grounds of the opposition. The registrar shall send one copy of such notice to the applicant. Within three weeks after the receipt of such notice, or such further time as the registrar may allow, the applicant may send to the registrar, on foolscap paper of such size as aforesaid, a counter- statement of the grounds on which he relies for his application, and if he does not do so shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application. If the applicant sends such counter-statement the registrar shall require the person who gave notice of opposition to give security, in such manner and to such amount as the registrar may require, for such costs as may be awarded in res- pect of such opposition ; and if such security is not given within fourteen days after such require- ment was made, or such further time as the registrar may allow, the opposition shall be deemed to be withdrawn. As to the manner of serving notices, &c., see rule 62. 102 TBADE MAKKS. T.M.R. Act As to the decision of the points raised by opposition, 1875. see rule 17 and note to rule 16. Boles 16, 17 Registration of Trade Marks. re^tradoa 16t ^ n tlie expiration of three months from m^k de *ke ^ ate * ^ e ^ rst a PP earance f t^e advertise- ment in the official paper, the registrar may, if he is satisfied that the applicant is entitled to registration, register the trade mark in respect of the description of goods for which he may be entitled to be registered and the applicant as the proprietor thereof, on payment of the prescribed fee. As to the entries to be made in the register and the date of the registry, see rule 20. It appears that where opposition has been raised to the registry of a trade mark by a person not himself claiming to be registered in respect of the same or a nearly identical trade mark, i.e., in cases not coming within rule 17, that the registrar may if satisfied that the applicant is entitled to registration proceed under this section leaving the opposing party to his remedy by way of application for rectification of the register under sec. 5 of the Act (P- 79). Duty of 17. Where each of several persons claims to registrar in . case of dis- be registered as proprietor ot the same or a nearly identical trade mark, in respect of the same goods or goods belonging to the same class, the registrar shall use his discretion as to registering all or any of such trade marks, either unconditionally or on the condition of the introduction of such varia- tions (if any) or otherwise as he thinks fit, or the registrar may, if in any case he thinks it TRADE MARKS. 103 expedient, submit or require the claimants to T.M.R.

As to the possible registration under this and the two next rules of two or more persons with conflicting claims, seo note to sec. 3 of the Act (p. 78) . 18. Where a trade mark has been already Prohibition ofregistra- registered in respect of any goods or description tion of of goods belonging to one particular class, a trade trade marks, mark identical with such trade mark, or so nearly resembling the same as to be calculated to deceive, shall not, without leave of the Court, be registered in the name of another person as proprietor thereof with respect to any goods in that class. It is presumed that the leave of the Court to register a trade mark in respect of goods belonging to one class identical with a trade mark, already registered as to the same class, will be granted in all cases where the goods to which the identical trade marks are applied, though included in the same class, are so different that the identity of the marks is not likely to deceive. For instance, a purchaser of bricks marked with two crossed swords is not likely to think that they were made at Dresden, though china and bricks are both included in class 16 of schedule 1. As to applications for leave, see rule 43. 19. Where goods may be considered as belong- similar trade ing to two or more classes, and the trade mark ^ m r iiargoods has been already registered in respect of such registered in goods as belonging to one particular class, a trade two c asses ' mark identical with such trade mark, or so nearly resembling the same as to be calculated to deceive, shall not, without leave of the court, be registered, in the name of another person as proprietor thereof 104 TRADE MARKS.

Were it not for this rule it would be necessary, in order to protect one kind of goods, to register the trade mark applied to them in every class in which such goods could possibly be included. Entries to 20. Upon registering any trade mark the re- be made in f register. gistrar shall enter in the register the date on which the statement relating to the application for registry was received by the registrar (which day shall be deemed to be the date of the registry) and such other particulars as he may think neces- sary, including the name and address of the pro- prietor. The address is to be inserted for the purposes of rule 63. If the registered proprietor has alleged user prior to August 13, 1875, will this be deemed a necessary par- ticular? Notice of 21. The registrar shall send notice to the ap- registration. plicant of the registration of his trade mark. Trust not to 22. There shall not be entered in the register, be entered in register. or be receiveable by the registrar, any notice of any trust, expressed, implied, or constructive. See also rule 28. Registration of subsequent Proprietors. Registration 23. The person to whom any registered trade of assignee 111 , . or trans- mark has been assigned or transmitted may apply mittee. to be registered as proprietor thereof. No form of application by an assignee or transmittee is given in the 3rd schedule. It will probably be sufficient TRADE MARKS. 105 to head the application in the same form as the other T.M.E. Act papers sent in at the same time, and after stating the 1875. name, address, and business of the applicant to refer to Rule 24. the accompanying papers as shewing the grounds of the application. The application should be dated and signed. 24. Where the trade mark has been assigned Production the person claiming as assignee to be registered ment, &c. by shall send to the registrar, with his application, as an assignment by deed executed both by the assignor and assignee, and a declaration verifying such assignment. A form of deed of assignment is given (Schedule 3, Form D.) It is suggested that as the deed is to be executed by the assignee, some such addition as "I accept the above assignment, and in witness thereof, I have hereunto, &c.," should be adopted in order to render the form more com- plete, unless the deed of assignment be made in the form of an indenture. Rule 65 does not render strict adherence to the forms in schedule 3 compulsory. That rule only provides that the forms may be used, i.e., that they shall be sufficient in point of form ; they should not be varied in any case without due cause. It will be observed that the form of assignment given in schedule 3 purports to assign the trade mark together with the goodwill. Rule 24 makes it necessary to assign a trade mark by deed, but it appears to be a very strict construction of section 2 of the Act to hold that the trade mark and goodwill must be assigned by one and the same deed. The point may have considerable effect upon the ad valorem duty. If the deed of assignment of the trade mark does not also assign the goodwill, it should refer to the goodwill so as to shew that the trade mark is assigned in connection with the goodwill. p 3 106 TRADE MARKS.

Where the trade mark has been transmitted by marriage, bankruptcy, or otherwise by operation of law, the person applying as the transmittee to be registered shall send to the registrar, together with his application, a statement of the manner in which such trade mark has been transmitted, and a declaration verifying such statement. Any transmittee may assign his interest in the mark, notwithstanding that he has not been registered as proprietor thereof. Where there are joint registered proprietors there will be no transmission until the death of the survivor, see rule 28. As to the form of application by a transmittee, see note to rule 23. As to the form of the declaration to be made by a transmittee, see rule 27 and schedule 3, form E. Evidence to 26. Where the person applying to be registered be produced . on trans- claims as the transmittee of any registered pro- mission. . , prietor, or as the assignee of a transmittee, there shall be produced to the registrar the following evidence : (1.)

If such transmission has taken place by the bankruptcy of the registered proprietor, or otherwise by opera- tion of law, there shall be produced to the registrar such evidence as may, for the time being, be receiv- able as proof of the title of the applicant ; and (2.)

Every declaration made by an assignee or and trans- transmittee shall state his name and address, and that he is entitled to the goodwill of the busi- ness concerned in the goods with respect to which the trade mark is registered, or to some part of such goodwill. For form of declaration by transmittee see schedule 3, form E. As to the registrar's power of dispensing with a declaration, see rule 57. Assignee, 28. Where two or more persons are registered owners. as joint proprietors of the same registered trade mark, those proprietors, or the survivors or sur- vivor of them, or their or his assignee or trans- mittee, shall alone be recognised by the registrar as having any title to the mark. " Or their or his assignee or transmittee " should not this be, "or their or his assignees or assignee, or the transmittee of the survivor of them ?" This rule does not of course prevent trusts or other equities attaching to the property under the control of the registered proprietors. Registration 29. Where divers persons claim to be severally of joint owners as entitled to the goodwill of a business concerned separate i i owners of in the goods with respect to which a trade mark separate . i trade marks has been registered, sucn persons, or any of them, may, if they all consent thereto, and on TRADE MARKS. 109 the production of the proper evidence, and on T.M.E. Act payment of the prescribed fee, be registered separately as separate proprietors of such trade gg mark. If all of such persons so entitled do not so consent, the registrar shall not, without leave of the court, register any of them as separate pro- prietors of such trade mark. If such separate registrations take place the word " exclusive " in sec. 3 of the Act will as to each of the separate proprietors have to be read as equivalent to " exclusive against all persons except the other registered separate proprietors.'' The side note, which is given as published by authority, is inaccurate. Continuance of a Trade Mark on the Register. 30. At a time not being less than two months Removal of nor more than three months before the expira- a^fout? tion of fourteen years from the date of the l ^^f^ registration of a trade mark, the registrar shall paid - send a notice to the registered proprietor that the trade mark will be removed from the register unless the proprietor pays to the registrar, before the expiration of such fourteen years (naming the date at which the same will expire), the prescribed fee, and if such fee be not previously paid, he shall at the expiration of one month from the date of the giving of the first notice send a second notice to the same effect, and if such fee be not paid before the expiration of such fourteen years the registrar may, after the end of three months from the expiration of such fourteen 110 TRADE MARKS. T.M.R. Act years, remove the mark from the register, and so from time to time at the expiration of every Rules 30- -i e f 34 period of fourteen years. Payment of 31. If before the expiration of the said three additional . fee after months the registered proprietor pays the said fourteen fee, together with the additional prescribed fee, the registrar may, without removing such trade mark from the register, accept the said fee as if it had been paid before the expiration of the said fourteen years. Power of 32. Where after the said three months a trade ers to restore mark has been removed from the register for non-payment of the prescribed fee, the Commis- sioners of Patents, or one of them, may, if they are satisfied that it is just so to do, restore such trade mark to the register on payment of the prescribed additional fee and compliance with such conditions as they may think just. Trademark 33. Where a trade mark has been removed removed not from the register for non-payment of the fee or teVed fof s otherwise, such trade mark shall nevertheless for five years after the date of such removal be deemed for the purpose of section six of the Act, and not for any other purpose, to be a trade mark which is already registered. Remorai of 34. The Court may, on the application of any trade mark . -, where no person aggrieved, remove any trade maik from ** 1 the register on the ground, after the expiration of five years from the date of the registry thereof, TRADE MARKS.

See sections 2 & 3 of the Act, pages 76, 77. Alteration and Rectification of Register. 35. The registered proprietor of any registered Alteration trade mark may, by leave of the Court, alter tial parts of such trade mark, so that he do not alter any one or more of the particulars in such mark which are declared by section 10 of the Act to be the essential particulars of a trade mark, and the registrar shall, on payment of the prescribed fee and compliance with the requisitions of the registrar as to the deposit of representations of the trade mark as altered, alter the register accordingly. Strictly speaking an "old" trade mark, which does not contain any of the essential particulars of a trade mark under the ordinary definition in section 10, but is registered under the special provision in that section as to such "old" trade marks, could, under this rule, be entirely altered, but it is submitted that the leave of the Court would not be given to an alteration which affected the distinctive points in any such " old " trade mark. See note on section 10 as to such "old " trade marks. 36. Where due notice of an order of any Court Entry of .,, ,, . , -i rectification rectifying the register has been given to the in register, registrar, the registrar shall forthwith, upon a copy of so much of the order as relates to such rectification being left with the registrar, and payment of the prescribed fee, rectify the register in accordance with the order. 112 TRADE MARKS.

The Elements of the Law of Con- tracts. Second Edition. By STEPHEN MARTIN LEAKE, of the Middle Temple, Barrister-at-Law. (Preparing for publication). Pollock's Principles of Contract at Law and in Equity ; being a Treatise on the General Principles relating to the Validity of Agreements, with a special view to the comparison of Law and Equity, and with references to the Indian Contract Act, and occasionally to American and Foreign Law. By FREDERICK POLLOCK, of Lincoln's Inn, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. 8vo. 1876. II. 4s. " Mr. Pollock's work ought, in our opinion, to take a high place among treatises of its class. It is remarkable not only for conciseness and lucidity of exposition, and for the skill with which the main stem of principle is kept always visible under the too luxuriant foliage of case law, but also, and iu especial, for ihe excellence of its arrangement which, so far as we are aware, is peculiar to the work be'ore us. The success in this latter respect is the more meritorious because Mr. Pollock's book covers a larger field than any previous treatise upon Contract. The ' fib-ion of law and equity ' so far as that fusion is possible, is in his pages an accomplished fact." Pall Mall Gazette, March 3rd, 1876. " This is a work of undoubted merit We can only regret that there is not more of such teaching about, bearing fruit similar to the book now before us. We do not see that this mode of dealing with Law can be improved upon the lead- ing principle beiug laid down and followed by explanatory disquisition. A prominent characteristic especially valuable at the present time is that the principles of equity ;ire read in with what used to be common law principles, and we have, therefore, in this one volume, the law relating to Contracts as administered by the Supreme Court of Judicature under the Judicature Acts."

The work is well done, and will be very useful to the class for whom it is intended. It is an educational as well as practical compendium, and it conveys that special kind of information which the student has generally the greatest difficulty in discovering Ivom books.

It is enriched with several excellent notes besides the one to which we have already called attention ; amongst these is one on the subjc ct of words usc-d in a statute being compulsory or only directory, and another in which there is a review of decisions under the Masters' and Servants' Act (4 Geo. 4, c. 34). This edition, of what may be considered a standard work, incorporates all the statutes and decisions from the date of the last edition, and, as far as we have been able to examine (and we have put it to some test), the work has been prepared with great care and accuracy. It is a good, practical, and valuable treatise, which we can safely recommend to the profession." The Law Journal. "'Paley on Convictions' has enjoyed a high reputation and extensive popularity. Devoted exclusively to the jurisdictic n in summary convictions, it collects and conveys to the magistrate and his clerk the fullest and most accurate information as to the practice to be observed iu the hearing of charges which the magistrate is empowered to dispose of summarily. Ten years have elapsed since the last edition. During the interval many important changes have been made in the law, and there has been a general call for a new edition.

In a word, such a book h;is long been wanted, and Mr. Phillips has given abundant proof of his ability to meet the desideratum." Solicitors? Journal, Nov. 14, 1863. " Mr. Phillips' work is at once an able law-book and a lucid treatise, in a popular form, on the rights of authors and artists.

In this Kditiou of " Russell " the Editor has endeavoured to make such a statement in each case of the facts, the decision, and the ground* of it, wherever they appear, as may enable the reader to understand what the decision really was ; and, although this course has necessarily much increased the size of the work, yet it renders it much more useful, especially to all who may not be in a position to refer to the original reports of the cases. This course is the same as was adopted in the last Edition, which was found in practice to be so very useful whenever any question suddenly aro.se in Court, before Magistrates, or elsewhere. This treatise is so much morec;r>ions than any other upon all the subjects contained in it, that it affords by tar the best means of acquiring a knowledge of the Criminal LHW in sreueral. or of any offence in particular ; so that it will be found peculiarly useful as well to those who wish to obtain a complete knowledge of that law, as to those who desire to be informed on any portion of it as. occasion may require. This work also contains a very complete treatise on the Law of Evidence in Criminal Cases, and in it the manner of tailing the depositions of witnesses, and the examinations of prisoners before magistrates, is fully explained.
