IMPORTANT OPINION
Upon the Question OF international
Convention Articles.

Attorney General Miller has submitted an
important opinion upon the question Of the
construction Of articles Of the International
Convent on proclaimed at Berne. July I.
1887. having for an object the protection of
Industrial caveats, ratified by the United
States. 1t provides in general that the sub
jects or citizens of each of the contracting <
governments shall enjoy, as parties to the
convention, the same advantages that the
res spective laws thereof accord to its subjects
or citizens, so far as concerns patents for
inventions and trade and commercial
marks. The citizens of the United
States have found no benefit in
securing patents for inventions in Europe.
Aliens found no benefit from it in protecting
inventions in the United States. The privi-
lege of filing caveat for uncompleted in
ventions was one of the peculiar features of
the American system and by terms of Law
confined strictly to citizens Of the United
States and foreigners who had resided one
year in the country and on oath of his intention
TO become citizen. Bourquin, q Swiss cit
izen presented caveat for an incomplete
invention, with legal fee, and demanded
that it be pla ed in the secret archives of the
patent Office. Being refused he cited the
terms of the convention insisting that the
right to fie caveat vas right concerning
patents for inventions. Therefore. by the
terms of the international treaty belong to
citizens or subjects Of all signatory powers,
- well - citizens Of the United States.
The patent Office held that it had no power
to receive the caveats while the term, Of the
convention might be interpreted to extend
this right to subjects of all governments.
The memoirs of international union could
only be done after action by q legislative
power. The privilege Wa, strictly limited
by Congress to citizens and prospective cit.
zens or q particular class of aliens. On tho
request of the applicant the question was re-
ferred to the attorney general, who holds
that the treaty was 4 reciprocal one, each
party to which covenants to grant in future to
subjects and citizens of the parties Ger ain
special rights to its subjects and citizens. 1t
is a contract operative in future infriterri-
torially. 1t is not self-executing but re-
quires legislation to render it effective for
the modification of existing laws.
