Excerpt from Trade Mark Laws of the World and Unfair Trade Fifteen years ago I published a book on foreign trade marks for the convenience of attorneys, which, in consequence of the tremendous growth and expansion of international commerce and the changes in the laws and practice, has become obsolete. In my recent publication, "Patent and Trade Mark Laws of the World, " I endeavored in a brief manner to provide an epitome of the trade mark laws, but I found it impossible in a work of that character to devote the space to it which its importance demanded, hence this publication, for which I have been collecting data during the last quarter of a century. The laws are quoted direct from the statute books, rules of practice, decisions of the courts, etc. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to the following publications for valuable suggestions, viz: "Bulletin of the U. S. Trade Mark Association" (Arthur W. Barber, Editor), "La Propriete Industrielle" and "Blatt fur Patent Muster und Zeichenwesen." The keen rivalry among nations of the world's markets lends additional importance to the registry of trade marks on popular and standard classes of merchandise. A registered mark not only protects the owner against imitation wares, but gives character and a guarantee of quality to the merchandise bearing the mark. It is a token of respectability and bears upon its face the fact that the owner desires to convey to the consumer a guaranty as to the uniformity and quality of the product. "A trade mark is a distinctive mark, through which the products of particular manufacturers, or the commodities of particular merchants may be distinguished from those of others."
