PATENT ACT AMENDMENT

Hon. FERNAND RINFRET (Secretary of State) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 7, to amend the Patent Act. He said: The purpose of this bill is to bring the Patent Act into conformity with the terms of the international conference for the protection of industrial property, as revised at the eighth conference of 1925. I may add that the changes are of a minor character. There is an amendment to section 40, concerning the granting of licenses for the use of an invention when the necessary and reasonable requirements have not been complied with, and this involves the addition of the following words: Or that the patentee has failed adequately to manufacture the patented invention in Canada. There is also a change made in section 49 which relates to any foreign ship or vessel entering the country temporarily. The words " air craft or land vehicle " are added to that clause. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

Mr. RINFRET:

In like manner this bill

is for the purpose of bringing the Trade Mark and Design Act into conformity with the decisions of the same meeting at the Hague in 1925. The changes are also of a minor character. There are added to section 11 of

the act two new paragraphs giving reasons for which a minister may refuse to register a trade mark in certain cases.

After the expiration of the current term of a trade mark, namely, twenty-five years, this bill proposes to give an extra period of three months within which the owner of the trade mark may renew the application and similar provision is made with regard to rights in an industrial design. Special fees are provided in case of such renewal.

In the case of a trade mark which has been filed in another country and which it is desired to file in this country the period is extended from four months to six months. All these are in conformity with decisions reached at the Hague.

Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
