The Royal Palace of Stockholm, Sept. 21st, 1915. We, Gustaf, etc. To patentees, living outside Sweden, is granted, in cases when the time for paying such an annuity with fine, as mentioned in Section II of the Patent Law of May 16, 1884, expires during the period Oct. 1-Dec. 31, 1915, a delay of three calendar months counted from the day, when the annuity ultimately should have been paid, according to the said section. This ordonnance shall come into force on the first day of Oct., 1915. * For translation see 13 P. & T. M. Rev., 259. New Zealand. Patents. Horticulture. Hybrid Plants. Proposed Protection. We are advised by Messrs. A. J. Park & Son, of Wellington, that the New Zealand Government now recognises what has been claimed by the fruit growers and nurserymen at their respective conferences, namely, that notwithstanding the many advantages of the New Zealand Climate, horticultural research work cannot take the place it should until the Hybridist is placed in the same position as the inventor in respect of protection of his rights. There is now every prospect of this being done as the Prime Minister has promised to include provisions for the protection of raisers in their rights of propagation and distribution in the Consolidating Orchards Bill which he has promised to introduce this session. Guatemala. Patent Medicines. Analysis. Requirements. Order Effective Sept. 25, 1915. The faculty of medicine and pharmacy of Guatemala by order of its board of directors, advises that on and after September 25, 1915, sales of all remedies or patent medicines that have not complied with the requirements of article 26 of decree No. 621, are prohibited in the Republic. The decree referred to requires foreigners who desire to sell special secret remedies in Guatemala to apply to the board of directors of the faculty of medicine and pharmacy for an examination of said remedies, and if the board considers such medicines desirable it will authorize their sale, withholding the secrets of their preparation. A list of remedies, the sale of which has been authorized by the faculty of medicine and pharmacy of Guatemala, will be sent in due course to the department of customs, so that their importation may be permitted. (From Bulletin of the Pan-American Union, Aug., 1915.) Patent Medicines. Cuba. Labels. Requirements. Notice. On and after September 10, 1915, shipments of patent medicines should not be sent to Cuba without being labeled in accordance with the provisions of Art. 46 of the pharmacy rules and regulations now in force, which prescribe that the formu'as of foreign pharmaceutical specialties, before being placed on sale, shall be submitted to the Board of Health by agents or importers, and their sale will not be authorized unless the following requisites are complied with: (a) Indicate on the labels the name of the components to which the remedy owes its medicinal properties; (b) Indicate at the same time on the labels the name of the pharmacist authorized in the country in which the medicine was manufactured. All pharmaceutical specialties, therefore, which after September 10, 1915, are exported to the Republic of Cuba without fulfilling the requirements referred to will subject the importer to the penalties imposed by law. After the date mentioned patent medicines which have not fulfilled these requirements, unless it can be shown that they were exported from the country of origin prior to September 10, 1915, cannot be sold in the Republic.
