YOUR REF. No•656-10/7 13th April 1950.
OUR REF. T.2099 /IP.
Dear Sir,
y Trade
::arks in hAIIRAIN ISLANDS •
We thank you for your letter dated 25rd February
(656-10/7) from which we note that the registration of the Trade
:.:ark Signature JOHN WHITiC of our Clients, JOHN V/HITiii FOOT/f^AR
LILUTED is not being effected since it has been found that the
registration of Trade Harks with your Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. has no validity.
In countries where laws for the registration of Trade
I..arks have not been enacted, it is customary to publish Cautionary
Notices in the Government Gazette or in newspapers;to the effect
that the party claiming to be the owner of the Trade I.:arks will
institute legal proceedings against any other party who encroaches
upon or imringes his ^rade Hark Rights. This procedure is follow
ed in the Aden Protectorate and also in the Sudan in the case of
patent rights. The Po-iit^cal Agent in Kuwait has agreed to post
on the notice board in the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. , Cautionary Notices in
the English and Arabic languages respecting Trade Hark and Patent
Rights claimed as existing in Kuwait. He has also intimated his
willingness to send copies of such Cautionary Notices to the Govern
ment of Kuwait and to do what he can to see that justice is done
in any case where such Patent or Trade Hark Rights are infringed.
./e shall be glad to know if you would be prepared to
if follow in the case of latent and Trade Lark matters in Bahrain
Islands the procedure followed in Kuwait and in the affirmative,
whether, in your opinion, any useful purpose may possibly be served
by following such a procedure. We should also be glad to know if
there is an Official Gazette or Journal published by the Bahrain
| Government in the Arabic language in which such Cautionary Notices
might be inserted. In the event of there being no Official Gazette
will you please say if there are any local newspapers published in
Bahrain.
If you can give us an indication as to the publication
costs,we should be extremely obliged.
Yours faithfully,
