Japanese Guile.

The pirating of trade marks in Japan
is annoying some manufacturers on
this side of the Pacific, and on account
of the trouble which they are experience
ing they advise all American manufac-
turers who may be looking to
Japan for market to register their
trade mark in the Mikado's realm
before the willy japanese appropriate
these labels. The San Francisco agent
of large Eastern manufacturing COM
pany said:
Manufacturers who have not regis
tered their trade marks in Japan are
threatened by most serious state of
affairs, owing to the actions of certain
parties there, who have been register
ing lately number of the most famous
American trade marks. This has put
a practical standstill to the business in
articles covered by such registrations,
as the trade has been warned that any
one will be prosecuted for selling goods
under these trade marks, except when
purchased through the parties who
have wrongfully taken the trade mark.
Owing to the severity of the Japanese
law respecting trade mark infringe
ments, the dealers in Japan are very
much disturbed. Those having stock
are afraid to sell, and those without
goods on hand refuse or fear to buy
while the question as to their right to
sell is pending.
"It is very important for the protec-
tion of American manufacturers that
they should at once register their trade
marks in Japan in their own names.
This costs about $50. The registration
requires resident agent who only
represents the manufacturer before
the patent Office and need not neces-
sarily handle the goods. In fact, it is
desirable that the commercial interests
and the matter of trade mark represen-
tation be kept separate.
"The Japanese are great imitators,
and it is very important that manufac-
turers should properly protect their
trade marks without further delay.
The situation is so serious that imme-
diate and united action should be taken
by all manufacturers interested IN the
Japanese trade
The San Francisco flour mills and
other concerns which ship products to
Japan have their trade marks registered,
as houses here which do business with
the Japanese have learned the necessi-
ty of taking every precaution to pro-
tect themselves. Eastern firms, which
are not aware of the commercial Pc
culiarities of the japanese, need to look
into the trade mark matter if they are
sending or intend to send their goods
to Japan. The Japanese trade mark
law, which has been in force about five
years, provides severe penalties, the
Japanese consulate states According
to reports from representatives of busi-
ness houses in Japan, crafty men there
are gradually coming to realize thor
oughly the possibilities for graft
which this law contains. The person
who registers trade mark in Japan
becomes the owner of it in that coun-
try, and the American manufacturer
who is rightfully entitled to the trade
mark and who may have built up q
reputation for it must make terms
with him before the American goods
can be disposed of under the stringent
law.-San Francisco Chronicle.
