Americans who wer-1 prevented during the war from patenting- their inventions or re lister inq-trademarks inq-trademarks in Oermany or oilier signatory countries may do so now. Tiie treaty provides pro-vides that applications tor patents in Germany Ger-many may be made within six months after the treaty becomes effective. Patents Pat-ents may be renewed in Germany or any of the other signatory countries by fulfilling ful-filling the requirements of the war period bt.Pinning August 1, lf11. Measures taken during the war by the United States to license or liquidate German Ger-man patents are recognized as valid and remain effective. Germany waives liability liabil-ity of the United States for infringements of patents incident to the prosecution of the war, but the rights of America to sue for infringements during the war by the German government or German individuals indi-viduals is not waived. A memorandum by Mr. Barueh gives the effect of the German treaty on the treatment of citizens of the United States. These include- the us-.:al rights under un-der commercial treaties as citizens of farm country to enter and do business or practice professions in the other country. At the instancy of the American delegation, delega-tion, it is pointed out, the right of eiti- zt-r.s of the allied and associated powers j to enter Germany and own land there, j was avoided. j The treaty also puts American and other ! allied citizens on terms of equality with I German citizens In matters of taxation. The provisions as to citizenship takes the ' place of former treaty provisions with the several German states, so that Germans who Jiecome naturalized in the United I States cease to have a dual nationality.
