PATENT ACT AMENDMENT

Hon. FERNAND RINFRET (Secretary of State) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 14, to amend the Patent Act. He said: There are two amendments in this bill, the first of which deals with the length of time within which a patent already filed in a foreign country which has an agreement with Canada may be filed in Canada. The other amendment allows the production as evidence of a certified copy of the foreign patent in order to save time and expenditure. I may say that both these amendments have been suggested by the judges of the Exchequer court. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.
