Japan—Restoration of Trade-mark Rights (Including Claims for Priority) of New Zealand Nationals

—

APPLICATIONS may now be made by nationals of states at war with Japan for the restoration and reinstatement in Japan of trade-mark registrations (including applications, demands for trials and appeals against rejection of claims for registration) which have been cancelled or invalidated or have lapsed by circumstances arising out of the war.

Upon restoration these rights will remain in force for a period equivalent to the period of protection to which they were entitled at the outbreak of hostilities.

Applicants for the registration of trade-marks in Japan may claim priority of date based on the first application for a trade-mark registration made not earlier than the 8th June, 1941.

Application may also be made for the cancellation of the registration of trade-marks in Japan, if the registered marks are so similar to the marks or names of nationals of states at war with Japan as to cause confusion. In the case of New Zealand nationals such applications must come within the scope of the following conditions :—

(a) That the registration is so similar to the trade-mark or trade name of the New Zealand national as to cause confusion to the public.

(b) That the registered trade-mark is used on merchandise which is identical with or similar to that on which the New Zealand national uses his trade-mark or trade name.

(c) That the trade-mark or trade name of the New Zealand national is well-known in Japan.

(d) That the trade-mark or trade name of the New Zealand national was used by him in any country prior to the date of application for registration in Japan of the trade-mark sought to be cancelled.

These arrangements are covered by a Japanese Cabinet Order, and applications by New Zealand nationals under the provisions of the Order must be made by the 1st February, 1951, to the New Zealand Government Trade Representative, care of Headquarters, British Commonwealth Sub Area, Tokyo, Japan, for transmission to the Japanese authorities.

A copy of the Japanese Cabinet Order and other relevant documents, together with specimen copies of the forms prescribed for making applications to the Japanese authorities under the Order, may be consulted at the Patent Office during ordinary office hours.

Dated this 19th day of September, 1950.

Minister in Charge of the Patent Office.
