by the public in large numbers, has

the Trade Marks Division. Law
yers who must use it say the crowd

scientific or trade journal which
has an important bearing on the

few minutes. Unless you recall the
date you cannot order the journal

do is to let a few such problems
accumulate and then devote a day

sulting the books or records needed.
