Excerpt from Reports of Committees and Discussions Thereon, Vol. 2 To the honorable the International American Conference: According to the invitation of the United States Government to the other Governments of America, and according to the act of Congress in virtue of which that invitation was extended, one of the objects for which this Conference has been called together is to concert measures for the protection of literary and artistic property, patents on inventions, and trade-marks belonging to citizens of any one of the countries represented in this Conference within the territory of each of the others of said countries. The property of man in the fruits of his intellect, whether they consist of literary or scientific works or of works of art, is recognized by all civilized nations, receives in all the protection of the law, and in some is the object of special attention in the constitutions or fundamental laws. All the nations of America protect literary and artistic property. All have placed in their codes legal provisions by virtue of which the author's or artist's property in his works is acknowledged and assured to the citizens of each of them and to foreigners who live under the protection of their laws, and the violation of these rights incurs the penalty of the law, and is punished in such manner as the legislation of each State determines. The right of property in industrial products receives the same protection and the same guaranties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
