HC Deb 02 July 1937 vol 325 c2357

12.49 p.m.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Captain Euan Wallace)

I beg to move, in page 2, line 34, at the end, to insert "to the extent to which."

These are in the nature of drafting Amendments and aim at replacing the word "adaptibility," which does not appear in this connection in the existing Act and would need interpretation—by the expression "adapted to distinguish" which is already in the Act and has been elucidated by a number of judgments of the Courts.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendments made:

In page 2, line 35, leave out "to the inherent adaptability of the trade mark," and insert "the trade mark is inherently adapted."

In line 37, leave out "to the extent to which."—[Captain Wallace.]
