- 2 - N Violation of the trademark right in the Sudetenland. Only entitled to the expulsion of the "Primerog" articles in the sudeten Land could have been only the plant Tetschen, which, however, because of its dependence on the Prague company did not have its own trademark right.

Formerly, "Primeros", Prague mainly exported to the Balkans to the largest extent. If the president of the government in Aussig were to carry out the dejuvenation of the plant Tetschen without further ado, the volcanic society would make considerable competition with "Primeros" articles of the "Primeros" society in Prague. It is therefore necessary first to ensure that two trademark rights do not exist for one and the same article. The Vulkan-Werke must renounce the "Primeros" patent, as far as it extends to the Primeros-werk in Dresden, and with this work and the works in Bünauburg, as well as if necessary Tetschen "Vulkan" products. Then there is nothing to prevent the dejudgment of the Tetschen plant, all the less since, for reasons of raw material, the Minister for Economic Affairs of the Reich did not grant Tetsner works its own raw material contingent,
