Chap. 0028 An Act reviving master products co. for the purpose of determining the ownership of a patent.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which in part is to immediately revive the corporation therein referred to for the purpose of determining without delay the ownership of a patent, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted, etc., as follows:

Master Products Co., a corporation dissolved on July twentieth, nineteen hundred and forty, by the supreme judicial court under the provisions of section fifty A of chapter one hundred and fifty-five of the General Laws, is hereby revived and continued for a period of two years from the effective date of this act for the purpose of enabling it to participate in proceedings to determine the ownership of a patent; provided, that the foregoing provisions of this act shall not take effect until there shall have been filed in the office of the commissioner of corporations and taxation an agreement, in form approved by the attorney general, for the payment in full of all excise taxes owed to the commonwealth by said corporation prior to its dissolution and subsequently abated as uncollectible, with interest thereon to the date of payment. Approved February 11, 1946.
