THE following Order in Council of the Commonwealth of Australia is published for general information.

F. WALDEGRAVE,
Registrar.

ORDER APPLYING SECTION 121 OF “THE PATENTS ACT, 1903,” TO NEW ZEALAND.

Order by His Excellency the Right Honourable Henry Stafford, Baron Northcote, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Knight Grand Commander of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief in and over the Commonwealth of Australia.

Commonwealth of Australia to wit.

NORTHCOTE,
Governor-General.

WHEREAS by “The Patents Act, 1903,” it is enacted that where it is made to appear to the Governor-General that any British Possession has made satisfactory provision for the protection in such Possession of inventions patented in the Commonwealth, the Governor-General may, by order, apply all or any of the provisions of section 121 of that Act, with such variations or additions (if any) as to him seem fit, to inventions patented in such British Possession: And whereas it has been made to appear to me that the British Possession of New Zealand has made satisfactory provision for the protection in that Possession of inventions patented in the Commonwealth: Now, therefore, I, Henry Stafford, Baron Northcote, the Governor-General aforesaid, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, do hereby order that from and after the first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and five, the provisions of section 121 of “The Patents Act, 1903,” shall be applied to inventions patented in New Zealand to the extent that any person who has applied for protection for any invention in New Zealand shall be entitled to a patent for his invention under the said Act in priority to other applicants, and such patent shall have the same date as the date of the application in New Zealand; provided that such application shall be made within twelve months from such person applying for protection in New Zealand; provided also that nothing in the said section contained shall entitle the patentee to recover damages for infringements happening prior to the date of the actual acceptance of his complete specification in the Commonwealth: The publication in the Commonwealth during the respective periods aforesaid of any description of the invention, or the use therein during such periods of the invention, shall not invalidate the patent which may be granted for the invention: the application for the grant of a patent under the said section must be made in the same manner as an ordinary application under the said Act: and the application must be accompanied by a complete specification which, if it be not accepted within the period of twelve months, shall with the drawings (if any) be open to public inspection at the expiration of that period.

Given under my hand and the Seal of the Commonwealth, at Melbourne, the fifteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and five, and in the fifth year of His Majesty’s reign.

By His Excellency’s command.

A. McLEAN.
