DESCRIPTION:A registered trade mark acts an indication of origin for goods
  but tells us nothing specific about the circumstances under which the goo
 ds originated. This limitation was not inevitable.  After trade marks beca
 me objects of registration in 1875\, what information they would embody wa
 s a matter of heated contestation between manufacturers\, retailers\, expo
 rters\, trade unions and anti-immigration activists.  This lecture will ex
 amine this debate and suggest why\, in the end\, it was the interests of l
 abour which lost out.
