§ SIR HENRY HOLLAND (for Mr. E. STANHOPE)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is the fact that patented articles cannot be imported into France under the protection of patent in France unless they have been solely and completely manufactured in that country?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKESir, my hon. Friend is right in his statement of the French law regarding patents; and representations on the subject were made in 1877 to Her Majesty's late Government. The attention of the French High. Commissioners will be called to the matter in the course of the present Treaty negotiations.
