Office of the Adviser to
the Government, Bahrain
Dated 22nd Ramadhan 13^9
July 8, 1950.
H. B. M's Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. ,
Bahrain.
Memorandum
The Bahrain Government proposes to issue an
Ordinance dealing with the registration of Trade
Marks. A rough draft of the Ordinance is enclosed,
I would appreciate your comments on it.
2. Trade Marks are now "being used in Bahrain with
increasing frequency "but there is no legislation to
protect the users of Trade Marks. In the past various
merchants have registered Trade Marks with the Bahrain
Government and have "been told that at some future date
a regulation on the subject will be issued. Recently
we have had a complaint that goods^imported into Bahrain
under some sort of Trade Mark and other, inferior goods,
have been exported from Bahrain under a similar mark
and sold abroad to the detriment of the reputation of
the original importer.
3. I would like to suggest that the Ordinance should
be as simple and as plainly worded as possible with this
object in view I have prepared the enclosed draft. I
believe that if the Ordinance is issued we shall
immediately have a great number of applications for
registration of Trade Marks.
Adviser to the Government,
AY.
