Trademark law protects distinctive signs of products against unauthorized uses. It is a legal tool to enhance market efficiency by conveying information about the origin of goods to consumers. Trademarks are also carriers of cultural information about the manufacturers, their products, and their message to the consumers. Thus, trademarks provide an unexpected reflection on society. This article explores the history of trademark law in Mandate Palestine, from the enactment of the first law to the end of the mandate (1922–48) in three cumulative avenues. First, a legal history analysis is provided, which seeks to understand why the British imposed trademark law at the time and manner they chose and how it was received by the local communities. Second, an empirical study of trademark data is given that reveals why the original trademark registry did not survive and how it was reconstructed for the current study. Trademark data offer an understudied and rich resource indicating economic changes and the reception of the law. Third, a semiotic analysis is provided that examines the trademarks themselves, focusing on local trademarks. Nationality is the common thread in these inquiries. The research reveals the differential reception of the British trademark law, with the Jewish population embracing it and the Arab-Palestinian population being much less receptive to it. The Jewish traders often used trademarks to convey national Zionist messages.

殖民商标:托管巴勒斯坦的法律和国籍,1922-48

商标法保护产品的独特标志免遭未经授权的使用。它是通过向消费者传达有关商品来源的信息来提高市场效率的法律工具。商标也是有关制造商、他们的产品以及他们向消费者传达的信息的文化信息的载体。因此,商标提供了对社会的意想不到的反映。本文探讨了托管巴勒斯坦商标法的历史,从第一部法律的颁布到托管结束(1922-48 年)的三个累积途径。首先,提供了法律历史分析,旨在了解英国为何在他们选择的时间和方式实施商标法,以及当地社区如何接受它。第二,对商标数据进行了实证研究,揭示了原始商标注册机构为何不存在以及如何为当前研究重建它。商标数据提供了一种未经充分研究且丰富的资源,表明经济变化和法律接受度。第三,提供了一种符号学分析,检查商标本身,重点是本地商标。国籍是这些调查的共同点。该研究揭示了对英国商标法的不同接受度,犹太人接受它,而阿拉伯-巴勒斯坦人则不太接受它。犹太商人经常使用商标来传达民族犹太复国主义信息。商标数据提供了一种未经充分研究且丰富的资源,表明经济变化和法律接受度。第三,提供了一种符号学分析,检查商标本身,重点是本地商标。国籍是这些调查的共同点。该研究揭示了对英国商标法的不同接受度,犹太人接受它,而阿拉伯-巴勒斯坦人则不太接受它。犹太商人经常使用商标来传达民族犹太复国主义信息。商标数据提供了一种未经充分研究且丰富的资源,表明经济变化和法律接受度。第三,提供了一种符号学分析,检查商标本身,重点是本地商标。国籍是这些调查的共同点。该研究揭示了对英国商标法的不同接受度,犹太人接受它,而阿拉伯-巴勒斯坦人则不太接受它。犹太商人经常使用商标来传达民族犹太复国主义信息。犹太人口接受它,而阿拉伯-巴勒斯坦人则不太接受它。犹太商人经常使用商标来传达民族犹太复国主义信息。犹太人口接受它,而阿拉伯-巴勒斯坦人则不太接受它。犹太商人经常使用商标来传达民族犹太复国主义信息。
