Excerpt from Trade Marks, Trade Names and Unfair Competition in Trade The purpose of this little book is to present, in the simplest manner, consistent with comprehensiveness, an interpretation of the Federal statutes concerning trade-mark registration and protection. As the book is intended for business men, we have avoided legal phraseology as much as possible as well as long quotations from court decisions, except where the inclusion of such excerpts was found necessary to a clear understanding of the subject. Our large trade-mark practice, extending over many years, has developed the conviction in our minds that a great deal of useless labor in devising trade-marks that cannot be registered - to say nothing of vexatious litigation over defective marks - might be obviated by some such publication as this. We call the attention of those, who are interested in trade-marks to the superior facilities of our trade-mark department for handling business of this character. Our service includes not only registration of trademarks, and general trade-mark practice before the Patent Office, but also registration of trade-marks in foreign countries and the registration of foreign-owned marks in the United States. Among our trade-mark clients are man of the largest and most successful business enterprises in America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
