Regulating Unfair Competition in Germany.-The committee on trade and commerce of the German Bundesrath has for some time been at work framing a bill to make laws which will further tend to prevent unfair competition. The material and data which it has in hand were furnished by tradesmen and merchants from all parts of the Empire. It is expected that the draft of the bill will soon be made public. It is said that under the new laws the "Closing-out-sale business" will be prohibited.—Brainard H. Warner, jr., Consul, Leipzig, July 20, 1903. New Zealand. Patents, Designs and Trade Marks.
