Reply to comment by Foreign-Complaint130 in TIL that the first trademark legislation was passed by the British Parliament under the reign of King Henry III in 1266, which required all bakers to use a distinctive mark for the bread they sold, Bakers’ Marking Law was enacted. by cristianmonroy
Right. There were marks used by artisans, craftsmen, smiths and other manufacturers in classical antiquity. This is a slightly different (though analogous) example.
The first trademark law in the modern sense was either in Bohemia under the Austrian-Hungarian Empire or France in 1857.
