PATENT LAW WORKS WELL.

tories Into England

London. June 5.-The passage OF the
new patent law, which goes into effect
on July q. stpulatlng that foreigners
who may be granted British patents must
manufacture the patented goods on Brit
ish soil. has already shown most satisfy
ing results.
German and American firms are either
opening factories in Great Britain or are
overcoming the difficulty by means Of
agreements with British firms. by the
terms of which the latter manufacture
the goods on a system Of royalties
The law is hitting the Germans so hard
:hat the Union Of Industrialists is now
pctiuoning the German government TO
adopt retalatory measures. Several Eng
lish authorities on such matters are con-
vinced that the law will confer greater
commercial and industrial benefits upon
Great Britain than any law that has been
passed IN the last half century. II has
resulted in the employment Of many
thousand British workpeople, and the in
PRODUCTION Of an enormous amount of
capital from foreign countries
