HC Deb 02 July 1937 vol 325 cc2373-4

1.51 p.m.

Captain Wallace

I beg to move, in page 23, line 12, at the end, to insert "to the extent to which."

I might perhaps be allowed to explain the six Amendments to Clause 18 which stand upon the Paper briefly together. The first three of them correspond to Amendments that we have already made to Clause 2 in respect of ordinary trade marks registered in Part A, and are designed to get rid of the word "adaptability," which we got rid of in Clause 2. The next one, the cancellation of the words: or comprising any of its essential features. corresponds to a deletion from Clause 15 which was made in Committee upstairs. The next to that is consequential on a similar replacement in Clause 15 which we made this morning, and the last one is purely drafting.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 23, line 12, at the end, insert "to the extent to which."

In page 23, line 13, leave out "to the inherent adaptability of the mark," and insert "the mark is inherently adapted."

In page 23, In line 16, leave out "to the extent to which."

In page 23, In line 31, leave out "or comprising any of its essential features."

In page 23, In line 32, leave out "colourably resembling it," and insert "nearly resembling it as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion."

In page 23, In line 42, after the first "the," insert "relevant."—[Captain Wallace.]
