HC Deb 17 July 1978 vol 954 c42W
Mr. Channon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he has any proposals to seek to amend the Trade Marks Act 1938.

Mr. Clinton Davis

No. Amendment of the Trade Marks Act 1938 would be premature in view of the developments in Community trade mark law.

Mr. Channon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what proposals have been received from the EEC Commission about changes in trade mark law; and what are the reactions of Her Majesty's Government to such proposals.

Mr. Clinton Davis

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 13th January to the hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam (Mr. Macfarlane)—[Vol. 941, c. 867–8.]
