CORRESPONDENCE J O H N

Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Re-
ports a Custom Menacing to Exporters.
Systematic registration of American trade marks
in Brazil without the authorization of the owner in
the United States, has been undertaken recently,
according to reports received by the Bureau of For-
eign and Domestic Commerce, Washington, D. C.
The announcement made by the Bureau says:
"There has recently been a systematic registration
of American trade marks and trade names in Brazil
without the authorization of the owners in the
United States. Among the marks so registered have
been included also several generic terms not regis-
terable in the United States and various geograph-
ical names as Syracuse. One firm in Rio de Janeiro
is reported to have registered since July, 1919, more
than 50 American trade marks, including several
widely used in the United States and in the export
trade."
The Bureau has already sent notice to the owners
of those marks in order that they might take action
to have the registration cancelled. As trade mark
applications are not published in Brazil until the
marks have been registered, it is usually impossible
to enter opposition in time to prevent registration
being granted. In addition, the Brazilian law per-
mits the first applicant to register any mark, and
cancellation of registration once granted is difficult
and expensive. American firms exporting trade
marked goods to Brazil are urged to prevent this
fraudulent registration by securing registration of
valuable marks under their own name.
