To Revive Patent
Treaty with Germany

Washington, May = Secretary
Hughes has instructed Ambassador
Houghton at Berlin to notify the
German government that under the
terms of the treaty with Germany
at patent convention concluded with
Germany in 1909 has been revived, it
was announced tonight by the state
department.
Secretary Weeks had opposed the
revival on the ground that American
industries would sucer through al
lowing foreigners to hold patent
rights which might not be put in
operation there by depriving this
country of industrial benefit.
The state department, however
was understood to take the view that
unless the convention was revived,
American patent rights in Germany
might be jeopardized.
