THE following despatch, received from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, is published for general information.

W. R. RUSSELL.

(New Zealand.—General.)
Downing Street, 13th March, 1890.

My LORD,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's Despatch No. 56, of the 10th October, stating that the necessary provisions having been made by the New Zealand Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act, No. 12 of 1889, it was the desire of your Government that an Order in Council be issued, applying to the colony section 103 of the Imperial Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act of 1883.

An Order in Council has accordingly been prepared and submitted for Her Majesty's approval, and I now transmit, for the information of your Lordship's Government, copies received from the Board of Trade of the order as passed, applying to the colony the provisions therein specified of "The Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act, 1883," as amended by "The Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 1885."

I have, &c.,
KNUTSFORD.

Governor the Right Hon. Lord Onslow,
G.C.M.G., &c.

At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the 8th day of February, 1890.

Present:
THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,
LORD CHANCELLOR, LORD PRESIDENT, LORD ARTHUR HILL,
SIR JAMES FERGUSSON, BART., SIR JOHN LUBBOCK, BART.,
SIR JOHN GORST.

WHEREAS by the provisions of "The Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act, 1883," as amended by "The Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 1885," it is, amongst other things, provided that, if Her Majesty is pleased to make any arrangement with the Government or Governments of any foreign State or States for mutual protection of inventions, designs, and trade marks, or any of them, then any person who has applied for protection for any invention, design, or trade mark in any such State shall be entitled to a patent for his invention, or to registration of his design or trade mark (as the case may be) under the said Act in priority to other applicants, and such patent or registration shall have the same date as the date of the application in such foreign State: Provided that his application is made in the case of a patent within seven months, and in the case of a design or trade mark within four months, from his applying for protection in the foreign State with which the arrangement is in force: Provided that nothing in the aforesaid provision contained shall entitle the patentee or pro-

prietor of the design or trade mark to recover damages for infringements happening prior to the date of the actual acceptance of his complete specification or the actual registration of his design or trade mark in this country, as the case may be.

The publication in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, during the respective periods aforesaid, of any description of the invention or the use therein during such periods of the invention, or the exhibition or use therein during such periods of the design, or the publication therein during such periods of a description or representation of the design, or the use therein during such periods of the trade mark, shall not invalidate the patent which may be granted for the invention or the registration of the design or trade mark.

The application for the grant of a patent, or the registration of a design, or the registration of a trade mark under the said provisions must be made in the said manner as an ordinary application under the said Act: Provided that, in the case of trade marks, any trade mark the registration of which has been duly applied for in the country of origin may be registered under the said Act.

And it is further provided that, where it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the Legislature of any British possession has made satisfactory provision for the protection of inventions, designs, and trade marks patented or registered in this country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time, by Order in Council, to apply the provisions first recited, with such variations or additions, if any, as to Her Majesty in Council may seem fit, to such British possession:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the Legislature of the Colony of New Zealand has made satisfactory provision for the protection of inventions, designs, and trade marks patented or registered in this country:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, and by virtue of the authority committed to her by the said first-mentioned Act, doth declare, and it is hereby declared, that the provisions of the said Acts hereinbefore specified shall apply to the Colony of New Zealand; and it is further ordered and declared that this order shall take effect, so far as regards patents, at the expiration of seven months, and so far as regards designs and trade marks at the expiration of four months, from the day and date first above written.
