We enclose a copy of a letter dated the
16th December, 1948, from Messrs. Edward Evans &
Co. This has been referred to the Legal Adviser
who feel's that we cannot answer the query without
knowing more about the law in force in Bahrain
and Kuwait. V.e therefore wish to know;-
(a) what laws (made by the Shaikhs and
under the Foreign jurisdiction Acts) there are
in force in Bahrain and Kuwait concerning inventions
and the protection of patents, and
(b) how protection under these laws is obtained.
V\e have ourselves been able to trace Article
28 of the Bahrain Order-in-Council 1913, anu
Article 30 of the Kuwait Order-in-Council 1936.
But we are not sure to what extent these previsions
afford protection to inventions and patents, and
we should be grateful for any inTormation which you
can give us. Incidentally, this subject is relevant
to the revision of the Orders-in-Council, and it may
be that you will require to make proposals if the
existing position is found to be unsatisfactory.
We are sending a copy of this letter to the
Commonwealth Relations Office for any information which
they may be able to supply. In particular, they may
be able" to let us know what is the effect of article
28 of the Bahrain Order-in-Council and Article 30 of
the Kuwait Ordep-in-Council as regaras inventions
and the protection of patents.
We shall be grateful for a very early reply,
as the Company are very anxious to inform important
clients.
