Law No. 1749
Whereas the National Congress has given its approval to the following
bill:
Only article. The registrations of trade
and commercial marks made in accordance with the provisions of the
law of November 12, 1874, are declared valid, even during the period
since the law of December 22, 1891, went into force till the
promulgation of the present law.
“Registrations of marks will in future be governed by the law
referred to of November 12, 1874.
“Clause 7 of article 26 of the law of December 22, 1891, relative to
trade and commercial marks, is repealed.”
And whereas, after having heard the council of state, I have
considered it convenient to approve and sanction it, therefore let
it be promulgated and carried out as law of the Republic.
