A GERMAN WORK ON TRADE MARKS AND UNFAIR COMPETITION IN THE UNITED STATES

Authors

Hanna Katz, Trade Mark Committee of the International Law Society

Abstract

The acquaintance of German lawyers with American trade-mark law and protection against unfair trading was based until now on the individual studies of persons especially interested in this subject. German textbooks and commentaries on industrial property rights treat international and foreign rules too, but they scarcely give a sufficient notion of how to create a valid trade-mark and protect the trader in his full enjoyment thereof in the U. S. A. Yet the necessity of having such knowledge is a rather broad one in Germany as in all other European countries selling trade-marked articles to their customers on the other side of the Atlantic, and it is increasing with the growth of international trade. Accordingly, Derenberg's work fills an actual want in German legal literature. The fact that Mr. E. S. Rogers, of the Chicago and New York bars, who is an authority on trade-mark matters in Europe as well as in America, honoured this book by writing the introduction gives full confidence in the author's handling of the subject.
