The | Constitution says: ‘“‘Congress shall | have power to promote the progress | of science and useful arts by secur- ing for limited times to authors and | inventors the exclusive right to their | respective writings and discoveries.” This section was inserted in the Con- | stitution at the instance of Ja Madison and ( les Pinckney. ac- | c Departme an_ act on the stat after Washington in his first 9 to Congress on January S, , had said: “I cannot forbear in- imating to you the expediency of gi ing effectual encouragement as well to the introduction of new and useful in- ventions from abroad as to the exer- tion of skill and genius at home.” The Patent Office was first located in the State Department, where it | vas the particular pride of Jefferson. ter examining personally every pat- ent application, Jefferson usually sum- moned Edmund Randolph of Virginia, Washington's Attorney General, and "New Victor Records In Litany (Schuben-Cortot) Impromptu (in F Sharp Major) (Chopin) Alfred Cortot United | | samuel ! loriginal inventor, ( > Viotancdls sein Adagio (Bach) Violoncello Selo No. 57—Protecting Our Inventors. lienry Knox of Massachusetts, the first Secretary of War, who consti- tuted the tribunal under law to pass on the is Jefterson was really the first admin- letrator of the patent system in this country.

In 1836 the Patent Office became a separate bureau in the Department of State in the charge of a commissioner of patents. When the Department of Interior was created by act of March 3, 1849, the Patent Office was trans- ferred to that department. By decree of President Coolidge the Patent Office was recently transferred from the In- terlor Department to the Commerce | Department, for closer co-operation {with the business interests of the| country. i The importance of Patent Office work to the industrial, economic and | family life of today was well illus-| |trated about the time that Secretar | Hoover was holding his conferences on | | unemplo: t and me five million | men w of work. | A Chicago manufacturer visited the | Commissioner of Patents and urged | that he be granted a patent at once, | jalthough the office was then some | 170,000 cases behind in its work and| the general rule is to take all applica- | jtions in turn.

In this building inaugural balls have been held. There were two very destructive fires—in 1836 fire practically wiped out the establishment and some 7,000 models were destroyed, including Rob- ert Fulton's sketches of the Cler- mont machinery and the vessel as it proudly steamed up the Hudson in ‘1807; again in 1877 a fire razed the western wing and destroyed 87, 000 models. All models of historic patents are now on deposit in the National Mu- seum. No models are now required under a’ law which went into effect in 1880. Prior to the erection of the National Museum in the early 90s, the model hall of the Patent Office was the depository of the Government's memorabilia, including George Wash- ington's trousers and belongings of revolutionary heroes. The trophies of early exploring expeditions were also deposited here. In the Patent Office are housed some 50,000,000 copies of patents, on some miles of shelves. It has the big gest ent store In the world as part of its activities, which brings in some $227.000 a year from sale of copies of patents. Invento onstantly being nature works.
