Vol. 12 No. 5

COMMITTEE ON FINANCE. - INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY (PROTECTION) BILL—MONEY RESOLUTION.

I move:—

Go bhfuil sé oiriúnach a údarú go n-íocfar amach as airgead a sholáthróidh an tOireachtas—

That it is expedient to authorise the payment out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas of—

(a) tuarastail no luach saothair d'éinne a ceapfar chun bheith ina Cheannasaí Mhaoine Tionnscail agus Tráchtála, d'éinne a ceapfar chun dualgaisí an Cheannasaí do chólíona agus d'aon daoine a ceapfar chun bheith in a nOifigigh don Cheannasaí fé aon Acht a rithfar sa tSiosón so chun socrú do dhéanamh chun paitinní i gcóir cumadóireacht do dheona, chun pátrúin agus marcanna trádála do chlárú, agus chun cóipcheart i Saorstát Eireann do mhíniú agus do chosaint, (b) costaisí eile fé n-a raghfar chun an tAcht san do chur in éifeacht.

(a) the salaries or remuneration of any person appointed to be Comptroller of Industrial and Commercial Property, of any person appointed to perform the duties of the Comptroller, and of any persons appointed to be Officers of the Comptroller under any Act of the present session to make provision for the granting of patents for inventions, the registration of designs and trade marks, and the definition and protection of copyright in Saorstát Eireann. (b) other expenses incurred in carrying such Act into effect.

There is provision in the Bill for various fees and charges in connection with patents, copyright, and designs. The scales in the case of the patents are about 75 per cent. of the British scales. For certain of the trade marks and designs the fees are the same as the British fees. It is estimated that the revenue arising from the working of the Bill will meet all the expenditure in connection with carrying it out. Consequently no new net charge will fall on the Exchequer.

Motion put, and agreed to.
