TRADE MARK LAW IN THE ARGENTINE.
♦__. • A WARNING. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, January .17. A despatch has been received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies pointing out that British and oolonial traders may be placed at, great disadvantage owing to the provisions of the trade marks law in tho Argentine Republic, and exporters of gocds will do well to lose no time in securing the registration of their marks ' in that oountry. According to the law of the Republic a person, not necessarily being the real owner of a % particular trade mark, but having registered that mark in- the Argentine, can lay an embargo on any goods that he may find bearing that mark, although such goods may have been made by the original owner of tlie mark, and have been legitimately introduced into the country. It is, stated that a Canadian firm which has been selling for come years under a special mark now finds that it may not import its own goods into the Argentine under that mark, because it has been registered by a firm of importers in Buenos Ayres, and no remedy appears to exist for the original owners except to buy up the local registered owners or invent and push another mark. __ mwmmmm* mmm^mtmmm^m^^
