("() Where an assignment in respect of any goods of a trade mark that is at the time of the assignment used in a business in those goods is made after the commencement of this Act otherwise than in connection with the goodwill of that business, the assignment shall not take effect until the following requirements have been satisfied, that is to say, the assignee must, not later than the expiration of six months from the date on which the assignment is made or within such extended period, if any, as the Registrar may allow, apply to him for directions with respect to the advertisement of the assignment, and must advertise it in such form and manner and within such period as the Registrar may direct.")
§ LORD TEMPLEMOREMy Lords, the object of this new subsection is to secure advertisement of any assignment of a 368 trade mark made without the goodwill of the business with a view to preventing deception of persons who had in the past associated the trade mark with the assignor. The assignment is not to take effect until the advertisement has been made under the direction of the Registrar. The Registrar will, no doubt, order the advertisement to be inserted in London or local newspapers, or in trade journals or catalogues — or possibly, in some cases, he will direct that it shall be applied to the goods themselves—as may be best calculated to cause it to reach the persons for whose information it is intended. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House cloth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Templemore.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
