Diractions to Inventors Issued by The Bee Bureau of Olaims, METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE, The Course Followe by the Anthor of an Invention to ¥ 15 Rights ~Costs of Obtaining & tect To tho inventor the all important question prosents ltself, “How can I socuroa pavent!™ ond to this Tie Bee Bureau offers the fol- lowing explanation Inventors as a class are not familiar with the laws under which lotters patent aro granted, the forms and practice in the patent office at Washington and the technical methods of casting specifications and claims to proporly protact thelr iuventions against infringers, vet the value of tho patent and even its validity depend largely upon the carcful and oxpert preparation of the case. Specifications must be drawn to fully d close the invention, to distinguish botween what is new and what s old, and claims, upon which the valuo and validity of the patent depend, must be cast to fully cover the fnvention yet mnot to encroach upon pat- ents already grantea. [Failure in cither of these respects often renders the patent value- less orvoid, The employment of counsel skilled in patent law 13 therefore usually a prerequisita to the proper prosscution of a case and a graut of a valuable patent. Maay inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should bb derived from valuable inven- tions owing to insufficient protection by pat- ets procured through incompetent or care- less agents, etc, For What Granted, dor the lawsfof the UnitedStates let ters patent aro granted to any porson who has invented or discovorod any new and use ful ary, mazhine, manufacture or composition of matter, or has invented any new or useful improvement thereon. Term of Patent. A patent is grautod for seventoon years, during which time the owner has solo and exviusive right to make, use and sell the patented invention. How to Proceed, For economic reasons beforo making ap- plication to the patent oftice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of the inven- tion should be ascertained, because, if the invention is not new or not patentable an unnecessory expense is incurred by filing an application on which & patent can never ve granted, ete. Tho first thing to be deue is to find out whether or not the invention is new and patentable. 3 For advice on the point it is necessary to ond to the bureau a rough or completo ketch o a_photograph of the inventiou, to- gether with a brief description thercof, g forth the object of the improve- s, the arrangement of the parts and vantages attained. While a modei is sldom necessary, yet it is often of greit assistauce. The latier can bo made of any cheap material, ard will be returned 1f & reguest is made to that effect. Upon receipt of the data mentioned sufic ient to enable the invention to b6 unlerstood our counsel will at once examine thereinto, and will advise without charge what is the best course o pursuc andwill express an opinion, from their kuowledge of the arts and patents already geanted, as to tho patent- ability of the inventio g In this caunectiol s recommended that the best und safest course is to have a speciul scarch made in the patent office to scertain whether or not the invention has peen heretuforo patented. The advantagd of such a search is that if no anticipating patent is discovered the application can be filed with a greater decree of certainty. whereas if the invention is tound to bo old all further ex- penseis avoided. The cost of a search of this nature is $5, and with the report of the result thereof the inventor will' be furnished with copies of such patents, if uny, as em- brace his ideas. It is much better to have this search mado in the outset before ine ur ring auy expense whatever regarding the ap plication for pateut 101t 18 found thay he inventioa is n ew avd patentable the clientis advised to proceod with the fiting of an application for patent, and will then bo requested to remt 315 to cover the first government fee aud £ in paymont of cost of drawing, wuen ono is necossary, As soon as possible after the receipt of this remittance the specification of the invention will be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, together with forms for application for patent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter the caso will be promptly fiied at the patent ofiice and notice will be sénv when action is bad there- on, und also of tho nature of such action. ‘The examining corps of the patont oftice is aivided into thirty-two divisions, among which the applications are divides according 10 the official classitication. ‘T'he condition of the work in tho varions divisions varies trom one to five months in arrears, The Bur rges, nsistent with the spirit with which this pureau was formed, it is not intended to conduct any branch of the busincss on a money making basis, but it is proposed to do tho work as near the zctual costas will pro- tect the business from loss, Although counsel are rotained at heavy expense to the burean, yet it is the wish w charga in ordinary cases only the minimum fee of &25.

Tuis condition of the case may be aue either to incompetency 03 the part o the attornoy employed or his inability, be cause of residence elsewhere than in Wash- ington, to make the examiner see the inven tion in its true light; and then, again, often occurs, vases are rejected on improper or iusuficient grounds. hen so requested we will bave our couusel examine into auy such case free of charge and advise as 1o the prospects for suocess by further prosecution, The client will also be then informed of the probable cost of completion. Cavents. By moeaus of a caveat an_luventor secures record ovidence regarding his invention for the purpose of enabling bim to complete or further experiment therewith. The life of caveat is oue year, aud it may be renowed at the eud of that time. The government fee is $10 and the bureau charge is $15. Trademarks, A tragemark is a fanciful or arbitrary de- vice or symuol usea to distinguish the good same, no matter ne it has boen in use The life of the o hi“.u of registration is thirty venrs and ve renewed for a liko period. The government fee, pavable one filing oach appifcdtion for regisiration of teadomark, is §25° o bureau's charge 1s about $20. L A7 Hikbels. Labels of all ¥thdd, dosl%nnd to be ate tached to manu fddhixhd articles or to bottles, poxes, ote., contal them, have heretofore been received for ‘registration in the patent office and a cettificAto issued accordingly. Undeor a very recenocision of the supremo court of the Unitefl States it is held that there is no authority in law for granting cer- tificates of regiwiration of labels whioh simply designate) Hr desoribe the ar- ticles o whichi they are attached, and which huvo no value separated therefrom. A label to be entitled to registration must have by itself some value as a composition, at least A% serving somo purpose or othor than as a more designation or advertisement. Many now holding cortiticates of registration of la- bels are totally without auy protection what. over. Many rogistored labels comprise sub- ject matter rogisterable as trademarks. Whorever this is so, or whore bv a slight change it can bo mado to come within the purview of the laws governine trademar registration should vo sought under this hend.

The total cost thereof is about 5, including all fees, Interferences, An interference is a judicial proceeding in- stituted under the direction of the commis- sioner of patents to enable him to de- termino the quostion of priority of invention between rival claimants. The bureau, recognizing tho fact that extraor- dinary’ caro and skill are requisite on tho part of an attorney fn charge of a caso in in- terforence, has at its command counsel pre- pared to conduct a cuse in interference from the very Inception down to & final determina- tion of the merits of the cause. Testimony will also bo taken under our_diroction in any part of the United States. While no specific sum can be sot down as applicable to all in- terference cascs alike, yot the charges will always be as reasonablous possiblo. Infringements, The question whother or not one patent, in- fringes another is the very soul of all patent litigation. The questions involved are mauy, and of tto most intricato nature. It 1s al: ways & matter of such great importance that 10 0n0 should ever claim that another is in- fringing on his rights, ov, likewise, no atten- tion should be paid to'the claims of infringo- mont by others until the questions involved are carefuliy passed upon by a reliable at- tornoy. I'or such services the charses aro aw ays fair and redsonable. Foreign Patents, In addition to thie bureaw’s facilities for attending to tho futerests of its inventor. rons before the United States patent office and courts, it 15 nlso enabled to procure vatents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of tho foreign coun- tries, notably Canada, Encland and Ger- many, patents for inventions previously vatented in this country aro looked upon with great favor, and inventors ara there very frequently moro likely to realizo profits from their inventions than they are oven in this country.

Loxpox, Feb, Until Mr. Balfour in- troduces the Irish local government biil on Thursday next the proceedings in Parli ment will be mere party skirmishing, Many mombers will not appear until the leader in the House of Commons explains the nature of the measure in which the governmeat is expected to appeal to the country. Though tho ministers decline to satisfy politicians who crave to know the gist of the Irish pro- posals tho draft of the bill, which is now in type, is known to contain a host of clauses rivaling in complexity Mr. Balfour's land aot. A high informant doscrives it as, in sub. stance, an application of the English county counoil act without adhering strictly to ex- isting county arveas, with a view to protect the minority, that is the oconservativo strength. In districts where the national vote 18 to0 strong, arbitrary electoral bound- arios are created, As in Kngland, three- fourths of the members of sach council aro to beelectod by the ratepayers, a portion of the rest by the councilors and a certain number by the Irsh executive. The councils osre to have control of tho local police, excepting the appoint- ment of the chief constubles, the control of licensing, sdministration of the poor law, asylums, industrial schools and prisons, ex cepting state government prisons and roads and public works. The imperial police are to be maintained in a less force. To Deprive the Priests of Power, As an appendix to the bill is another moas- ure transferring Irish private land business, now heard at W to tho councils. A conferen: sh landlords ceatly sent to Mr. Balfour, through the duke of Abercorn, 4 demand that clorgymen bo excluded from county boards, the aim being to doprive tire priests of their influance. Mr. Gladstone tonight wired that he would reappear in the House of Commons on the 22nd inst. in timo for the debate oun the sec- ond reading of the measure, The Irish lead ©ors of voth groups declare theic veadinoss 1o adopt what they can of Mr. Balfonr's pr posals, but they also concur that the bill will be found in the main impossible of accept- ance, An early result of the combined attack of this bill will bothe reunion of the Irsh party, when botb groups will co-operate for & com. mon end, aud factions will disappear. ‘Lo decision of the Parneliite section not to appoint & recognized leader shows that they foel that the time for reunion is near. Arraigned the Liberals, Mrs, Joseph Chamberlain, duke of Devon- shire, and a host of persons of high rank and title were in tho gallery of the Heuse of Commous yesterday evening to hoar Mr. Chamberlain, Who achieved a distinct tr umph in his brilliaut arraignment of the lib erals. The pungency of his attacks drew froquent cheers from the conservatives, Ilis allusion 10 the alliance batween tho McCar- thyites and the Gladstonians seemed to de- light the little band of Parnellites. Hon. Sir Willlam Vernon Harcourt's charge that Lord Salisbury’s Exeter sp h was an fosult o Catholics was most effective. M Chamberlain quoted a_passago from Mr, adstone’s writings which sa 10 so- cure rights is the aim of Chri n civihza tion: to destroy them and establish tho re= sistless domineering action of a purely central power, is the aim of the Z2oman polic; Mr, Chamberlain also quoted a similar passage from Mr, Morley's writings. Then ne asked, “‘is it not strange that the Glaa stonians may steal a horse tvhen we cannot look over the hedge!” Mr, Mori in his reply, did not add to his reputation. His speech was ‘angry in tone, and he was evidently unprepared fcr the at- tack. He wade some good points in the carly part of his specch, but scon dropped all and was confused. ‘While he was speaking the number of memvers in the house gradually dwindled.

Mr. Warner first dealt with tho defent of Mills for the speakership. Ho said ho was beaten by a combination of those who were opposed to the agreement under which the democratic party had suc- ceeded ; of which combination the New Y ork stato democravic organization directed by Governor Hill was a principal factor. Whatever may have beon the motives of the othors, Mr. Warner stated that, in his opinion, Hill's plan, as defined by his Elmira speech, was to call a hatt in tariff reform and to bring free coinage to the front. Mr, Warner was londly applauded when he rotived. Archibald ] essions read thie resolutions which were unanimously adopted. They were substuntially as follo “Wo protest against this call for a mid- winter convention, not only so much because it is sudden or unprocedented, as bocause it seeks to subordinate the intelligence of the mass of the ammocratic party to the operations of fngenlous political mechanism and managoment, and be cause o triumph of such a mauagement would discredit the party and its prineiples and threaten serious disaster.

The northsiders wanted the ward di- vidod oast und west and the westsiders de- sived the division to the north and south. As @ result of this conflict the factions wers wrangling the entire session. A committee, composed of Frank Spore, I\ W. Fiteh and A. T, Hays, to which the mat- ter of dividing tho ward had beon referred, mado a report to Judgo (. W. Ambrose, tho chairman, and the members of the ward club, recommonaing tho division be made, co mencing at Twentieth streot runuing wost on Spencer to Thirty-fir: thence south to Maple, thence west on Maplo to the eity lim- its, dividing the ward by a line ranning cast and west. Tho reading of this report created a fac- tional fight, and the different sections of the ward gol into a wrargle, Amendments and substitutes were offored. Some wanted tho Lwe to extond to Thirty-third and othors to Thirty sixth streot, and thare thoy were. As to the division, population, improve- ments and councilmsuio reprosentation were disoussod. e north ond poo- vlo said if the ward was divided by a lino running north and south they would be fn a hopeless minority and could et no improvo- ments, Division Absotutely Necessary, Trank Spore said the division only present the was not nooessary, but almost compulsory. At X Sixth ward covered too much territory, and by a division more public im- provements could bo procured in both the rorth and wost soctions. Kach man_ repr. nting a differ L portion of tho ward had a vigorous kick coming on accouut of his sec- tion not getting any improvewents, Leaving the chair, Judge Ambrose said ho was thero in the interest of no party or fac tion, but for tho benesit of the peoplo in the ward. He was well aware of the fact that tho ward was o0 large, but when they talked of a division of the Sixth, ho said, they woere wasting their breath, Tho ward could not bo satsfactorily divided. The thung to do was to take tho Fifth, Sixth and Righth, and from these throe make an addi- tional ward. The Fifth and Eighth wero tos small, while the Sixth was too large. By ro- districting the three one good ward couid ba created, “Exerciso a little common sense,” said the judge, “und then you will be able to accom- plish something. " Attorney iteh thought that in tho divis ion of the ward polities should not be consiu- ored. Ho belioved it was for the bost inter- ests of the people to have wards to mako it convenient for them to vote without having 10 g0 threo or four miles to cast a ballot. All the ideas about improvements, he thought, wero solfish, whilo on the contrary other matters should be considered. abled the Repo Aftor moro prolouged wrangling and jang- ling some wise inaividual nade a motion to table the whole matter indefiuitely, and with a burrab it was dono. Notwithstanding this action R. J. Burgoss introduced a resolution to the effect that the division of the wara and lmprovements thereln bo referrod to tho conncilmen of tho ward, together with a committee of five, wto would hiave power to act in the matter. Tho chairman therefors appoiuted tho committos of five. It consists of Messrs. Burgess, Mos- sick, Patrick, Oxford and Ambrose. Ventod His Wrath in a Resolution, Whou this was disposed of a scurrilous res- olution was {ntroduced by one Wilsou cen- suring the city council and condemning tho editor of Tuk WRer, and others on the question askiug other proposals to ve made for properuy suitable for parks. The resolution wus quite lengthy and re- ferrod to 8 measuroe adopted recently by tho ity council asking for offers on proporty with a view of selecting and purchasing tracts for park purposes. **We ook on this action of the councii,” says tho resolution, “‘as a schewme of some in- terested parties to dofcat the will of the Yeoplc, and also as adirect msultto tho Board of Park Commissioners. Wo deprecate the action of the council as in bad faith. \We think the sites already sclectod are for the best interests of the people. We shall ce- sist any attompt to foist upon the city for park purposes property that is inuccessiblo and otherwise unsuitable,” It was further stated in the resolution that the park bonds were voted for the purchase of specified tracts of land and they dia not helioye the bonas could be used for the pur- chase of other sites than those specified. Colonel PPratt jumped to is foet and said it would be an outrage und a scandal on the peopie of the Sixth ward to pass such a vil fying resolution. Hoe thought it was an insult not only to Tne Beg but also to the couneil. Mr. Wilson, the author of the weasure, then moved that the clause pertaining 1o tho paper and *ward politiclans” bo eradicated, and it was. Tho resolution was thon passed.
