TRADE MARKS
ALLEGATION OF PIRACY. DENIAL BY JAPANESE. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Calcutta, November 1. A strong accusation of trade marks piracy against Japan and an equally vehement denial is edifying the Indian business world. The discussion began when the chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce declared that Japanese common goods manufacturers and traders in India were copying English trade marks and trade designs and that as a result of this piracy Lancashire was losing thousands of pounds annually. Mr S. Kurihare, Consul for Japan, in an interview, characterized the allegations as absolutely baseless, and emphasized that Japanese manufacturers and traders had no need to copy English trade marks and designs of cloths. Piece-goods merchants in Calcutta and Bombay consider the time has arrived for strong action to be taken.
