ENEMY PATENTS
NO REVERSION AFTER WAR British Official Wireless Rec. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, March 22. Lord Vansittart, in the House of Lords, raised the question of Ger-man-held patents in Britain after the war. The Lord Chancellor, Viscount Simon, replying, said industry was using enemy patents, and Germany was unlikely to get them back. Our industrialists were using what was useful in some 400 enemy applications still with the Patent-Office. Lord Simon added that a Patents Committee was to report on the changes desirable in the patent law by the abuse of monopoly rights through the patent law. He could not regard it as likely that we should allow enemy patent rights to revert after the war to a defeated enemy, when we knew some of the methods he had employed in the past. .
