Patents and Designs Act 1907

The Patents and Designs Act 1907 (7 Edw. 7. c. 29) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to the law related to patents and industrial designs. Its provisions substantively replaced the earlier Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act 1883.

The act was enacted on 31 December 1907, and it aimed to consolidate and amend the laws related to patents and designs in the UK. It laid down provisions related to the grant, registration, and protection of patents and industrial designs. The Patents and Design Act 1907 encouraged American firms to start manufacturing in the UK by allowing patents to be revoked if they weren't being utilized here.
