of the success of this scheme is due

them by voluntary effort, and as the

REMEDY IS POINTED OUT
& Manufacturers Should Register Their
Trademarks With the Government
One Concern Paid $4,000 to
Recover Trademark.

BuenOs Aires.-Dispatches from the
United States stating that the Ameri-
can Manufacturers Export association
had launched a fight against "trade-
I mark" pirates In various foreign coun-
tries, including Argentina, were read
with interest by the American business
colony here, which is aware of fire.
Iuent instances Of this sort of bust
hess meanness.
Americans are far from holding Ar
gentina alone guilty of the practice,
for the stealing of trademarks has
been done here even by Americans
from their own countrymen, 1t is said,
as well as by Europeans from Amer
leans.
Remedy Pointed Out.
The remedy against 1t, business men
say, is for the American manufacturer
TO register his trademark with the gov
eminent without delay, otherwise
when he attempts to enter this market
he may find that some unknown indi-
vi1ual or competitor In the same line
Of goods has anticipated him.
1t is not necessary In Argentina for
the person who registers a trademark
to be the actual manufacturer Of the
goods. That is, anybody can register
a trademark, first come, first served.
Once registered, the mark can, Of
course, be used by no one else, and II
Il has been pirated, the rightful owner
either has to sell his products under a
new trademark or buy Off the pirate.
It is known In the Office of the Unit
ed States commercial attache that
10000 was paid by one American con-
Germ to recover its trademark from a
pirate.
There are reported to be certain in
1ividuals who almost make business
Of appropriating trademarks Of foreign
concerns In order to extort price for
surrendering them to the owner. They
watch particularly for advertising In
newspapers and magazines Of foreign
concerns whose products they Judge
are likely to find a market In Argen-
tina; If they find likely trademark
not registered, they see that II Is done
In t2eir own names and then wait.
Trademarks Need Renewal.
They also watch for the expiration
Of trademarks-the period Is ten years.
There are known to be instances in
which concerns have thus left their
trademarks to pirate as the result of
neglecting to have them renewed.
Argentina has yet failed to ratify
the pan-American trademark conven-
ton, under which central agency for
the ten southern republics Of Amer
lea would be established in Rio ia
metro for the registration Of trade
marks. A trademark registered there
will be good in all other South Amer
lean countries signatory to the con-
vention and will save time, expense
and trouble. The Argentine admins.
tration is known to be anxious to have
the treaty ratified, but congress has
failed to act. 1t is reported that Pres
ident Irigoyen Is preparing special
message to congress urging that there
be no further delay in the matter.
