IgiiO 7I 41 dh ib MO b gJ0 Au Trade-Mark The French law requires that when a partner whose name is part of the firm name dies, the firm name be immediately changed. For a long time there was a great puzzle as to how it was possible to perpetuate the name of the company. A clever lawyer found out that if the business was dedicated to something, either an idea or a disembodied spirit or a saint, the title could be made permanent. That is the reason why you sec the word "Au" "To the" before many firm names "Au Bon Marche" (To the good bargains) "Au Samara tain" (To the Samaritan) "Au Louvre" (To the Louvre), so that never mind who runs these shops, the title is perpetual. Fortunately there is no American law that limits a trade-mark to the life of any individual or firm. Some trade-marks represent the lifework of three generations.
