73 i) Suspension will, as a general rule, only be gran- ted in the following cases: a) Where the trade-mark is the name of a patented article, and a licence is granted under the patent protecting it; b) Where it is the only name, or only practicable name. of an article manufactured under an expired patent. c) Where it is the name or the only practicable name of an article manufactured in accordance with a known process or a formula which has been pu- blished or is well known in the trade. ii) Generally speaking, Suspension will not be gran ted in the case of pictorial devices. 14. It may be added that the applications for Suspension of trade-marks have not been numerous, and the Orders made bare strictly followed the above rules, which, in fact, merely embody the existing prin- ciples of English law applicable to trade-marks. 15. As regards designs, only one application has been made, and in this case the same principles were applied as in cases where patent rights were involved. 16. By another provision of the rules made the above legislation, the Patent Office is given power to extern! the time for the doing of any act or of paying any fee during the continuance of the war in the follo wing cases: a) Where it is shown to the Comptroller's satisfaction that the applicant, patentee, or proprietär, as the case may be, was prevented front doing the said act, or filing the said document, by reason of active service or enforced absence from this coun- try, or any other circumstances arising from the present state of war, which, in the opinion of the Comptroller, would justify such extension. b) Where the doing of any act would, by reason of the circumstances arising from the present state of war, be prejudicial or injurious to the rights or Interests of any applicant, patentee, or pro- prietor as aforesaid. 17. The pover has been and will be generously exercised. The period of extension is unlimited, and the Order may be made ad any time during the exis- tence of the rules, notwithstanding that the proper time for the act or payment has passed. It may be added that the power is in the discretion of the Comp troller-General of Patents, and its exercise may be attected if reciprocity is not accorded by the enemy authorities in the case of patents held in enemy coun- tries by British Subjects. British Establishments of German Banks. 18. As soon as possible after the outbreak of war, licence was issued by the British Gouvernment to the German banks in London (the Deutsche Bank (Berlin), London Agency, theDirection der Disconto-Gesellschaft, and the Dresdner Bank), nnder the terms of which they are permitted on banking business in the United Kingdom, subject to certain limitations and conditions. Copies of this licence, dated the 19th August, 1914. and of an amended licence, dated the 19th September, 1914, are annexed hereto (Siehe S. 74/75); the latter licence was issued to dehne more clearly the liabilities of the banks which would rank for payment out of the assets in London. 19. Under clause 3 of the licence, the Treasury have appointed a Controller to supervise the operations of the banks, and he, in turn, has appointed an of- hcial Supervisor to act on bis behalf at each of the banks. The supervisions is intended not to interfere with the management of the banks’ business, whicli has remained in the hands of the Managers, but to ensnre that the terms of the licence shall be carried out. No members of the staffs of the banks have been dismissed. 20. The business to be undertaken by the banks is limited to the completion of transactions entered into before the outbreak of war and to the payment (other than to enemies) of liabilities incurred as a resnlt of such transactions which would ordinarily be discharged by the London establishments of the banks. Payment of liabilities was suspended during the cur rency of Moratorium, but with the assistance of the Bank of England (which extended to the German banks the facilities granted to accepting houses in September last under an arrangement made between the Bank of England and the Treasury), the banks have been enabled to resume payment of their liabi lities in full. Payments have been made by the three banks to date totalling 18,390.000 £ and very large sums, amounting to upwards of 5,650.000 £, are now due to the Bank of England in respect of advances made under the Treasury arrangement referred to. These advances are repayable as and wben cover is received from Clients, but the Bank of England has undertaken not to claim repayment from the German banks of any amonnts not so reeovered until the expiration of one year after the dose of the war. It is extremely nnlikely that there will be any surplus to pay to the Bank of England under clause 4 of the licence. 21. Particulars of seenrities held by the banks for acconnt of enemies have been furnished to the Custodian appointed under „The Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act, 1914“, but the seenrities themselves at present remain in the possession of the banks. British Establishments of Anstrian Banks. 22. As soon as possible after the outbreak of war. a licence was issued by the British Government to the Anstrian banks in London (the Oesterreichische Länder bank and the Anglo-Anstrian-Bank), under the terms of which they are permitted to carry on banking business in the United Kingdom, subject to certain limitations and conditions. Copies of Ibis licence, dated the 13th August, 1914, and of an amended licence. dated the 19th September, 1914, are annexed hereto
