PATENTS, DESIGNS, AND TRADE-MARKS. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR.

/'resented to both Senses of tie (-feneral Assembly pursuant to Section US of the Patents, Dtxiyns, and Trade-marks Act, 1911.

In pursuance of the requirements of the Patents, Designs, and Trade-mai ks Act, I have the honour to submit my report on the proceedings thereunder during the year. Though slightly higher than last year, the number of applications shows little change during the past few years, 2,627 being received in 1913 as compared with 2,560 in 1912 and 2,622 in the preceding year. The applications added each year to those previously recorded involves, however, a steady increase in the work of the office, which, owing to the scattered and restricted accommodation, is carried out under very unfavourable conditions. While these have been somewhat improved the need for suitable piemises is so acute as to seriously threaten the efficiency of the oflicc, and it is satisfactory to know that suitable accommodation to meet the requirements of the staff and public, as well as of the library and records, is likely to be shortly provided. Although the number of applications received year by year docs not vary much, the revenue shows a continual increase, being .£7,113 7s. for last year, £356 19s. Id. more than in 1912, ami considerably higher than in any previous year. The expenditure was slightly less than in 1912, amounting to £2,972 os. 3d., of which £1,053 18s. "_M was for work done and stationery supplied by the Government Printing Office. The expenditure last year was 41 per cent, of the revenue; for 1912, 14 per rent.; for 1911, 37 per cent. Patents . The number of applications was 1,775 —slightly more than in 1912. Of these, 1,080 were accompanied by provisional specifications and 686 by complete specifications, while 285 complete specifications were left in respect of applications with which provisional specifications had previously been lodged, making a total for the year of 2,051 specifications, as compared with 2,046 in 1912. The proportion of complete specifications to provisional specifications lodged in the first instance in each of the past five years is as follows —60 per cent., 61 per cent., 64 per cent., 78 per cent., 63 per cent. —or an average for that time of 65 per cent., as compared with 49 per cent. in Great Britain and 74 per cent, in Australia for the same period. The total number of applications received up to the 31st December last was 34.191, and the number of patents then in force 3,411. The fees in connection with patents amounted to £5,762 12s. 3d., as compared with £5,543 10s. lid. for 1912, an increase of ,£219 Is. 4d.— partly accounted for by a fee of £1 being payable on complete specifications during the whole of last year instead of only for six months of i 912, and by a slight increase in the fees for the second term, £1,325, as compared with £1,290, as well as for the somewhat greater amounts received for copying and certifying copies. The sealing fees show a slight falling-0ff—.£1,426 (£l,s72)*—and also the fees of '.£lO for the third term of letters patent—£l,ooo (£1,060).

* The figures in parentheses throughout this report relate to the year 1912.

While the revenue considerably exceeds the expenditure, the fees ure, with two exceptions, the lowest in the world, as will be seen from the following table : —

Forty-one applications were received from women inventors, 13 less than in 1912. The number of patents of additions was (i (5), and the complete specifications filed in respect of cognate provisional specifications 14 (6). No doubt when the provisions of the Act in this respeot become better known they will be more fully availed of. Examination of Specifications. No provision has yet been made for making a thorough inquiry into the novelty of inventions sought to be patented, but this question is gone into by the staff so far as it is able, and amendment required, or in rare cases the application rejected, where the invention is found to !«■ parti-ally or wholly anticipated. The applications for the twelve months stated were received and dealt with as follows:— Number of applications received from Ist June, 1912, to 31st May, 1913 (inclusive) ... ... ... ... ... ... ' ... 1,708 Applications in respect of which amendment under section 5, or compliance with other formalities, required before acceptance ... ... 152 Applications in respect of which amendment on account of want of novelty required before acceptance ... ... ... ... 74 Not accepted ... ... ... ... ... ... .. 15+ Countries from which Applications were received. The number of applications from residents in New Zealand was about normal—l,l73, as compared witli 1,180 in 1911 and 1,135 in 1912. An increase is shown in the number of applications from Canada—l 9 (12); fnited Kingdom—lB3 (168)- and the United States—l2l (118); and a falling-ofi in the applications from the Commonwealth —22l (240). Table H shows the number of applications received from each of the various other countries from 1911 to the end of last year. During 191.'!. G6 per cent, of the applications received were from residents of New Zealand, and 34 per cent, from people living in other places. In the United Kingdom for the same year 68 per cent, of the applications were fn.m people living in and 'V 2 per cent, from people outside that country, and in Australia 70 per cent, from residents and 30 per cent, from non-residents of the Commonwealth. Subject-matter of Inventions. While applications for inventions in respect of our particular industries, more especially dairying, naturally predominate, there is no such marked trend of invention here as there is in Great Britain and other large manufacturing countries. The subject of locomotion—principally motor vehicles and aeronautics—which has lately been engaging the attention of inventors in other places in a very striking manner has produced but few inventions in this country so far as the records show. The prevention of railway accidents is, as would be expected, a subject of great interest to inventors in all parts of the world, and serious collisions are invariably followed by a revival of attempts to ensure the safe running of trains. Last year more than treble the usual number of applications were filed in Great Britain on the subject, and a decided increase is lately shown in the applications in this country. A considerable number of applications continue to be received under telephony and telegraphy, chiefly in connection with automatic installations—6l in 1913 and 64 in 1912. as compared with 31 in 1911. Although cinematographs are a fruitful source of invention in Kngland and are extensively used in this country, very few applications are made by Xew Zealand inventors on the subject. While a fair number of applications were made for milking and dairying appliances—27 and 68 respectively —there were not quite as many as in the previous year. The applications for fibre-dressing, which fell off somewhat in 1912, revived somewhat in 1913 —.">6 (34). Double the number were received with regard to railways—Bo (40) —the increase being chiefly in respect of signalling appliances. Those for cultivating, 25 t-'!2), and fencing. 20 (30), show a slight falling-off, and the number in other subjects remains about the same.

International Con rent ion. The number of applications under the Convention, which has been gradually rising till it reached 156 in 1912, dropped to 139 last your. Though the advantages of the Conventions are mi doubt great, the curtailment ol' the term under it in Great Britain. Australia, and New Zealand (but not in other countries) no doub< leads to inventors not utilizing it to as full an extent as they might otherwise do. Restoration of Letter* Patent, One application for restoration of letters patent was made during the vein, and one patent was restored. Designs. Sixty-five applications for the registration of designs were received during the year, and although this number is three times that of the previous year it is hardly sufficient to make it worth while keeping a registry for. As pointed out in my last report, some form of protection in the nature of the German petty patent to cover nol merely designs but other original matter not at present provided for by our Patents or Copyrights Acts would seem to be more suitable for the requirements in this country than the present design registration. Til.\ DE-MARKS. The progress in the trade of this country is reflected in the number of applications for registration of trade-marks. In 1890, 160 were received; in 1900,348; and in 1910, 818. Last year showed a slight Falling-ofi, 789 applications being made and 572 marks actually registered during the year. Although not in themselves very high, these numbers stand out when compared with the registrations effected annually in Great Britain (5,073 in 1913) and other countries. The increase in the initial fee, and one or two eases in which the payments were in excess of the previous year, broughi the amount from this source to 6143 9s. Id. more than in 1912— £1,284 13s. 6d., as compared with £1,141 Is. r>d. Countries from which AppHcati&ns received. The number of applications from traders in New Zealand correspond exactly to the number they lodged in 1912— 303, 75 short of the total for the previous year (">7S). There is a I'alling-off also in the applications from the United Kingdom— 2s3 (297). The number from Germany in 1911 was 57; in L 912, 19; and in 1913, 20; a vei \ considerable falling-oS in the latter years. Increases are shown in the applications from New South Wales. 54 (41); Victoria, 28 (20); and the United States, 70 (66). Goods for which Trade-mark* registered. There is a noticeable increase in the number of applications in Class 42 (food substances), 1()7 being received in 1913 as compared with 100 in the previous year. A falling-off occurs in the number in (.'lass 3 (medicinal preparations), <>l (75); in Class 22 (vehicles), 19 (22); in Class 38 (clothing), 65 (71); in Class 43 (liquors and spirits), 22 (26); in Class 47 (candles, soaps, &c), 50 (55), and in Class 50 (miscellaneous), .'S7 (53). There is little if any change in the number received in the other classes. Special Applications to the Court. In accordance with the Act of 1911 the Court may, on application, declare a mark which has been successfully used to be distinctive' which would not otherwise be held to be so under the ordinary provisions of tin Act. During 1913, 5 applications were made to the Court, and, as a result, proceeded with"in 3 eases, i General. Opposition. Not ice of opposition was lodged in 30 cases. Xd decisions were appealed against during the year. " Patent Office Journal." With the object ul bringing New Zealand inventors into touch with manufacturers and others interested in inventions in other countries, and affording some small return for the generous manner in which Great Britain, Australia, and other places supply their specifications and other publications, the Journal has been widely distributed thl ghoui those countries, as will be seen from the list attached. Improvements have been effected in this publication without materially increasing its cost, and the additional copies required for other countries can be run off at very slight extra expense. Patent Agents. No addition was made to the register during the year.
