Can someone tell me about this brand? I'm thinking of buying an ocarina with this name on it, and I was wondering if it has any links to Selmer, because I've seen this on Selmer Brevete clarinets before. If so this would make the ocarina more desirable, to me anyway.
The ocarina is made of metal and it dates to around the same time as when Brevete clarinets were made, I believe.

"Brevete S.G.D.G" just means "Patented without Guarantee by the Government", a French legal term put on many products. It is not a brand name, any more than the word "Patented" on a product made by an English-speaking company. You need to look for some other marking that would indicate the brand.

I've always taken this term to be the French equivalent of "patent pending".

You are correct SteveG. It is essentially saying that the patent for the design has been applied for but is not yet approved... aka Patent Pending.
After this is approved, they move to using Déposé which means "registered"

Or the marketeer's version of "YOUR LOGO HERE".
