Letterhead of Law Offices of Howard H. Hayes,
765 Broad Street,
Room 901-905,
Prudential Building,
Newark, N. J.,
June 27, 1900
Mr. William E. Gilmore,
National Phonograph Co.,
Orange, N. J.
Dear Sir:-
Please write to Mr. Dryer and ask him whether the British Colonial patents in Australasia, were applied for under provisions of the "International Convention," so that they expire 14 years from the date of the application for the corresponding American patents, or whether they expire 14 years from the date of their own applications.
Also, if the former is the case, whether this still further shortens the life of the corresponding American patents, so that they expire 14 years from the date of their respective applications.
Yours very truly,
Howard W. Hayes
