SUBJECT: Information of General Application Pertaining to Directive Number SCAPIN 1900/11, file AG 311.1 (28 May 48) CCS, this Headquarters, dated 27 July 1949, subject: International Postal Service
1. With reference to subject memorandum, the following is published for the information of all concerned.
2. This SCAPIN is being issued for the purpose of relaxing restrictions on International Mails to permit the mailing of papers of legal procedure relating to patents and trade marks. This relaxation is considered necessary because of the fact that foreign nationals may now obtain patents in Japan and it is anticipated that Japanese Nationals may soon obtain patents in some countries abroad.
