RIGHT TO TRADE MARKS
LONDON, March 18. The House of Lords Appeal Committee has decided that the goodwill of the Chartreuse" liqueur factory did not pass to the French judicial liquidator, and therefore the monks now settled in England are entitled to the old trade marks, and liqueur manufactured by the French Government must bear a different mark. Some time ago an action was brought by the Order of Carthusian Monks in defease of their celebrated liqueur to restrain M. Henri Leconturier (an officer of the French Government) and others (including George Idle, Chapman and Co., Limited,. <of England) from using tL'j word "Chartreuse" in connection with the sale Of liqueurs in England. The case" was dismissed, but the Court of Appeal subsequently decided that the Monks were Entitled to the exclusive use of the word " Chartreuse" for their trade-mark outside France.
