¥a legal provision exists in Bahrain for the registration
and protection of patents and designs.
3. Trade marks have, however, for many yeare been registered
at the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. on receipt of an application accompanied by 3 copies
of the trade mark. A fee of fe.2/8/- la charged for each regis
tration. Thereafter,protection is afforded oy Article 28 of the
Bahrain Order-in-Council and Sections 487 to 489 of the Indian
i^nal Code. However, in the absence of the application of an
Act to Bahrain providing for the Registration of Trade Marks,
the registration at present carried out in the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. probably
has no legal effect. On the other hand, it is not entirely
without advantage, since the fact that •registration* nas been
made in the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. could be used as evidence of intention in a
case fender Section 487 of the Indian P«nal Code.
