NIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider 1812W the advisability of amending the provisions of Section 18 of the Patents and Designs Act, 1907, so as to secure to patentees an extension of the term of their patents where, owing to war conditions, they have been unable to develop and obtain from such patents similar results which, under normal conditions, they might reasonably have expected; and when may such a measure be expected to be introduced?
