COMMISSIONER OF I^A-TEISTTS

TO CONGRESS, FOE THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1889.

Laid before the Honse of Kepresentatives by the Speaker Februaiy 6, 1890, referred to the Committee on Patents, and ordered to be

priuted.

Department of th^ Interior,

United States Patent Office,

Washington, D. C, January 31, 1890.

To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled :

The Commissioner of Patents is required by law to report to Congress during the month of January in each year a statement in detail of all moneys received and expended, a list of patents granted or extended, including the names and places of residence of the patentees, together with such other information of the condition of the Patent Office as may be useful to Congress or the public.

In entering upon the discharge of the duties thus imposed I am reminded that this is the one hun- dredth year of the American patent system. It was on the 8th day of January, 1790, that President Wash- ington, in an address constituting his first annual message, said to the assembled Houses of Congress :

I cannot forbear intimating to you the expediency of giving effectual encouragement, as well to the introduction of new and useful inventions from abroad, as to the exertions of skill and genius in producing them at home.

Both Houses of Congress sent cordial responses to the President's address, and promised, especially to his suggestions for the encouragement of science and the arts, " such early attention as their respective im- portance requires." A bill was soon matured which, after amendment in the Senate, became on the 10th of April, 1790, by the signature of President Wash-' ington, the first American law authorizing the grant- ing of patents for mechanical inventions. The num- ber of patents granted during the first year was 3. The number granted during the first fifty years was 13,421. Since that time, under the act of 1836 and subsequent statutes based upon the same general principles, a marvelous growth has attended the sys- tem— a growth that has been signalized by the cor- responding development in every department of American industry. So vast has this growth become that during the last calendar year — a year nearly co-in- cident with the centennial year of the patent system — nearly 24,000 patents were granted, making the whole number of mechanical patents granted prior to Janu- ary 1, 1890, 428,622. The number for the entire cen- tury ending April 10, 1890, will approximate 437,000. It is not surprising that a distinguished statesman, late Prime Minister of England, recently said of the United States : " In noone country, I suppose, is there so careful a cultivation of the inventive faculty."

I have thus in the briefest manner directed atten- tion to the growth of the patent system and to the

fact that this is its centennial year, because I cannot avoid the belief that the suggestions which I shall have the honor to make derive a special claim and an added urgency from the fact that the Patent Office should enter upon the second century of its useful- ness fully equipped for the discharge of its responsible duties.

The following tables present a comparative state- ment of the business of the Patent Office since the en- actment of the statute of 1836 and exhibit in detail the business of the Office during the last calendar year:

ADDITIONAL ROOM.

From the consideration of the fact that inventors and persons interested in inventions have during the past year paid into the Treasury of the United States the sum of $228,772.09 over and above all' the current expenses of the Patent Office, I turn to the considera- tion of its pressing needs.

Tlie first need of tlie Office is additional room. I could afford to be silent upon this subject, in view of the urgent words on behalf of the Patent Office of the Honorable Secretary of the Interior in his recent re- port, if it were certain that my silence would not be misinterpreted. The present situation is most deplor- able. Almost literally speaking, the Patent Office is crowded into a corner of the noble building which was paid for by its patrons and which bears its name. The necessity for more room and better facilities has been urged upon Congress by Commissioner after Commissioner, and has become more imperative every year. As long ago as 1882 Mr. Commissioner Marble

asked for thirty additional rooms. Mr. Commissioner Butterworth, in his report for 1884, called attention to the utter inadequacy of room and facilities for con- ducting the business of the Patent Office and to the fact that the health of the employes had been impaired and death had resulted from damp and overcrowded rooms. In his report for 1885 Mr. Commissioner Montgomery said that it was " not extravagant to as- sert that every room in the building could be advan- tageously used to-day by this Bureau." My immedi- ate predecessor also urged upon Congress the neces- sity for relief. During the past year it has been found almost impossible to find space for the stor- age of current copies of patents as they were pro- duced from week to week. J can add nothing to what has been said by my predecessors, except, perhaps, to enter a little more into detail in setting forth the overcrowded condition of the Office. The room oc- cupied by Division XXVIII has nineteen by twenty- three feet of floor-space. In it are nine desks, occu- pied by nine men and women. In addition to the desks are book and file cases arranged against the wall and extending upon all sides of the room. In the room occupied by Division V the floor-space is thirty-five by twenty feet in extent. In it are ten desks, occupied by ten persons. Book and file cases extend around the room on every side. These in- stances differ only in degree from nearly all the rooms devoted to the business of this Bureau.

The subject to which I am now directing attention is one in which the deepest interest is felt by invent- ors and by the very large portion of the American people who are directly or indirectly interested in in- ventions. There is a widespread feeling that the large excess of fees over expenses should be devoted to affording facilities for the conduct of the business of the Office. There can be no doubt whatever that this feeling is a reasonable one. No one, I think, has ever suggested that the Patent Office should be made a permanent source of revenue for the general purposes of the Government.

I urgently request that relief be afforded for the overcrowded condition of the Patent Office.

LABORATORY.

Not only is the space available for the general busi- ness of the Office insufficient, but in some directions its functions are practically suspended for want of room and facilities whereby to conduct them. Quite frequently the Commissioner is requested to permit examiners to visit manufactories, sometimes in distant parts of the country, to determine whether a new in- vention is practicable or operative, or to ascertain the principle upon which a machine operates or a process is conducted. To grant the request is to place the en- tire time of the examiner at the disposal of one appli- cant until the question is determined, to the delay and detriment of other inventors. For the determination of such questions the Patent Office should have a suit- able laboratory. An inconsiderable sum would secure the necessary apparatus and appliances for the chem- ical, electrical, and other experiments and investiga- tions that are urgently demanded by applicants for patents, and that cannot be dispensed witli if the Pat- ent Office is to be fully equipped to do the work de-

Tolved upon it by law. I recommend, in connection with measures for supplying additional room, a rea- sonable appropriation to provide for the purchase from time to time of suitable apparatus for a labora- tory.

INCREASE IN FORCE.

I am glad to be able to report that the work of the Patent Office is, comparatively speaking, in an ad- vanced condition. On the 21st day of January, 1890, in twenty-three of the thirty exainining divisions all applications that had been in the Office for two months had been acted upon, while in several divisions the work was less than one month in arrears. This com- paratively satisfactory condition of the work has been brought about by almost heroic efforts on the part of the examining corps, who take pride in the good name of the Office, and who spare no labor within office hours or out of office hours to second the efforts of the Commissioner in bringing up the work. But the limit of possible attainment with the present force of employes seems to be practically reached. During the past year especial attention has been given to as- certaining by what changes in methods of examina- tion the maximum of accomplishment can be reached by the expenditure of a given amount of labor. I cannot avoid the belief that any increase in the num- ber of applications examined must be secured by a corresponding deterioration in quality of the work if the force is to remain as at present. The work of ex- amination cannot be conducted under whip and spur. Its very nature implies deliberation. No matter how extended or careful the investigation, if one decisive anticipating reference is overlooked any patent that may be granted will be worthless. I trust the small increase in the force called for by the estimates will be granted.

CLASSIFIED ABRIDGMENT OF PATENTS.

The attention of Congi-ess has several times been directed to the subject of authorizing the publication of a classified abridgment of patents. As long ago as 1848 Mr. Commissioner Ewbank declared that such a work ought to be prepared and placed in every city, town, and district library. He declared his belief that it would save one-half the time of the examiner and supersede three-fourths of an irritating corre- spondence arising from disallowed claims, and, fur- ther, that the work, when made accessible to popular refei-ence, would effect a saving of millions. Several Commissioners have since that time urged upon Con- gress the need of such a digest.

Iq 1880 Mr. Commissioner Marble said:

Attention has been called by several of my predecessors to the necessity of having a digest made, for the use of the Office and of the public, of the inventions patented in this and foreign coun- tries, as well as those disclosed in publications, technical works, and in scientific and other libraries. At the risk of repetition, I desire also to call the attention of Congress to the importance of such work, In the hope that the necessity so long felt and so often referred to may, at no distant day, be relieved, and the wants of the Office and the public supplied. Nearly 240,000 patents have already been issued by this Ofifice. If the examination of the Office upon applications filed were limited to American patents only, the necessity for a digest of such patents would, to any per- son at all acquainted with the business of this Office, be apparen t ; but when to this number of patents are added those issued in for- eign countries, as well as the inventions described in scientific and other works, the importance of such a digest, in order that an examiner may know what the state of the particular art is, cannot be overestimated. As well might it be expected that a lawyer could promptly tell what the law 'S upon a given subject from the isolated decisions found in the reports of the decisions

of the courts of this and other countries, without a digest of such decisions, as that an examiner, although an expert in the par- ticular class, can determine from the great number of inventions already patented, as well as those described in books and publi- cations, whether a particular device or composition of matter is patentable without some book in which reference is made to all the patents which have been issued in that particular class, as well as the inventions described in books and publications. The preparation of such a work would cost, it is true, a large sum of money and consume considerable time; but I think the expense to the Government would soon be reimbursed by its sale. If not in that way directly, certainly it would by its sale and the in- creased facility which it would afford to the examining corps of the Office, lessening their labors, and hence the necessity for so large a number of persons being employed on that kind of work. The advantage to the public, and especially to inventors and manufacturei's, would be incalculable. Inventors often spend months, and even years, in producing a device to do a certain thing, only to find at the end of the time thus spent that tlieir inventions have been fully anticipated by other devices, if not identical with the one presented, in all respects similar to it.

Capital, always cautious, seeks investment in property the chief value of which consists in the fact that its owner has the exclusive right to produce or use it, which right is guarantied by a patent of the United States— more cautiously than in any other kind of property, because of the uncertainty felt in such guaranty of the Government until the validity of such patent is tested by the severe ordeal of a trial in the courts. This feeling of uncertainty, this want of confidence and hesitation on the part of capitalists and manufacturers may be overcome, in a large degree at least, by having the inventions, each and every class, so brought together that at least those skilled in a particu- lar art can determine whether a particular device or composition of matter is anticipated in a former patent or publication.

For the foregoing reasons, and for the reasons which have been given by my predecessors in their reports on this subject, I earnestly recommend that action be taken by Congress looking to an early commencement of the preparation of this work. At some time, if our patent system is continued, sucu .-, work will become so necessary that its preparation can no longer be de- layed. Delay in its preparation will only add to its cost when it is commenced, because the material to be examined and classi- fied is constantly increasing. In the meantime the Office must suffer the inconvenience of not having it for daily use.

In response to this powerful presentation of the

question, Congress, by an act approved March 3, 1881, made an appropriation of $10,000, and authorized the commencement of the work. Thereupon, under the supervision of the Commissioner of Patents, the task of preparing and classifying an abridgment of patents was entered upon, and progi'essed far enough to in- clude nearly all the patents relating to agricultural implements. No additional appropriation was made, however, so that nothing further has been done, and no money has been available for the publication of the digest, even as far as completed. There can be na doubt, however, that the work thus begun should go on to completion. In the first place, it would be of the greatest value in facilitating the labors of this Office by lessening the work of examiners, and, ex- cepting as the number of applications should greatly increase in the future, would permit of a decrease in the number of the force. It would also be the means of preventing the granting of worthless patents through the failure to discover apt references — a fail- ure which must result in a certain small percentage of cases so long as examiners are deprived of the most efficient means of conducting their investigations. It- would enable the patrons of the Office to jirepare their cases intelligently, and by enabling them to readily ascertain the state of the art pertaining to a supposed new invention would in a vast number of cases cause the withholding of applications which now take up the time of examiners to no useful purpose. It would to a very great extent transfer the work of examina- tion from the Patent Office to the offices of attorneys, and thus afford great relief in the present overbur- dened condition of the examining divisions. It would enable patentees and manufacturei's to defiuitely understand the extent of their rights as secured liy patents, and by disseminating knowledge of what

Vlll

has been done in all the various arts would prevent inventors from traversing the ground occupied by predecessors in their noble pursuit. It would be re- munerative to the Government, because such a digest would meet with a ready sale among inventors and manufacturers, and the entire cost of its preparation and publication would soon be reimbursed. And, finally, it is indispensable if the United States would keep pace with other nations in whatever pertains to the development of its patent system.

All the inventions patented in Great Britain are to be found in a summarized form in classified abridg- ments, the value of which cannot be overestimated. Each volume relates to a certain class of invention, the summarized statements being arranged chrono- logically. A single book contains all that is needed to be known in order to tell whether the article supposed to be new has ever been patented since the foundation of the Government.

I earnestly recommend such action on the part of Congress as will permit an early renewal of the work of preparing abridgments of patents, under the su- Ijervision of the Commissioner, with a suitable appro- priation to defray the expenses incurred.

PHOTOLITHOGRAPHY.

It is well understood that the drawings of patents and of copies of patents, designs, and trade-marks, as well as nearly the whole of the Official Gazette, are produced by photolithography. Unquestionably this work should be done by the Patent Office ; but with the present room, force, and facilities the under- taking of the work by the OiRce is out of the question. The bills appropriating money for photolithographing have for several years contained the following pro- vision :

Said photolithographing or otherwise producing plates and copies referred to in this and the two preceding paragraphs to be done under the supervision of the Commissioner of Patents, and in the city of Washington, if it can be there done at reason- able rates ; and the Commissionerof Patents, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, shall \)e authorized to malce con- tracts therefor.

During the present fiscal year the work is being done in the usual manner at Washington, it having been found that reasonable rates could be obtained. Before signing the contract I took efficient measures to ascertain at what prices similar work could be done in New York and other large cities, and am satisfied that the prices named in the existing contract com- ply with the requirement in the appropriation bill. The appropriation for photolithographing for the cur- rent fiscal year was the same in amount as for the previous year; but owing to the very large increase in the business of the Office, as appears by this report, a prospective deficiency of a small amount has been re- ported, with reference to which I request favorable action.

ACCOUNTING TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

The Commissioner of Patents and the Chief Clerk are both required to give bond with sureties to render to the proper officer of the Treasury a true account of all moneys received by virtue of their offices. The financial clerk is also a bonded officer.

Since the beginning of the present fiscal year a new system of accounting has been in operation, which makes it practically impossible for any loss to occur.

and imparts a sense of security to the bonded officers of the Bureau. In accordance with this system, at the end of each month a full statement of all moneys received from every source is furnished to the Treasury Department, together with a statement of all certifi- cates of deposit from United States depositaries of which this Office has notice. The correctness of this statement is vouched for by the financial clerk, the Chief Clerk, and the Commissioner of Patents. When this monthly statement is received by the Treasury Department, two officers are deputed , one by the Fifth Auditor and the other by the First Comptroller, who carefully examine the books and accounts of the Pat- ent Office, and, having ascertained that the report is correct, so certify upon its face. In addition, a quar- terly account-current is rendered to the Treasury De- partment. This system of accounting, suggested by the officials of the Treasury Department and heartily indorsed by the present Commissioner, has been found to be entirely satisfactory.

DUTIES OF ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER.

No law at present defines the duties of the Assistant Commissioner, excepting section 178 of the Revised Statutes, which prescribes the conditions under which he shall be Acting Commissioner. The great increase in the business of the Office has to such an extent in- creased the labors of its head that it is found neces- sary to have the Assistant discharge a portion of the daily duties which the law devolves upon the Com- missioner in terms. There should either be a law de- fining the duties of the Assistant or the Commissioner should be authorized to devolve any portion of his duties upon the Assistant, either by general order or by special designation.

LEGISLATION.

Limitation of patents. Section 4887 of the Revised Statutes provides that every patent granted for an invention that has been previously patented in a foreign country shall be so limited as to expire at the same time with the foreign patent, or, if there be more than one, at the same time with the one having the shortest term. In some foreign countries patents are granted for extended as well as for original terms. In some countries the ex- tension is demandableof right, while in others it rests in governmental discretion ; in some a patent is liable to become forfeited for non-jjayment of fees required by law to be paid at intervals, and in some forfeiture is liable to take place for other reasons, which need not here be enumerated. For many years it was un- derstood that the original term of the foreign patent controlled the duration of the American patent sub- sequently granted for the same invention, and that the American patent would neither be extended by the extension of a foreign patent nor shortened by its forfeiture. So long as the law was thus understood no considerable difficulty was experienced in ascer- taining the duration of the term of the American pat- ent. In a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, however, it was decided that where the foreign patent for the same invention which was subsequently patented in the United States had been extended, and the foreign act under which the exten- sion was granted was in force when the United States

EEPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS FOR THE YEAR 1889.

patent was applied for and issued, and the foreign ex- tension was a matter of right at the option of the pat- entee on the payment of the required fee, and the original and extended terms of the foreign patent had been continuous and without interruption, the United States patent did not expire with the original term of the foreign patent. And still more recently it has been held by some of the circuit courts of the United States that forfeiture of the foreign patent, even dur- ing its original term, terminates the American patent also.

Under these circumstances it is manifestly impos- sible for the Commissioner of Patents in granting a patent for an invention previously patented abroad to prescribe in terms the period of exclusive use. To grant the patent for seventeen years and leave the courts to ascertain its lawful duration is out of the question, as patents so granted would be liable to be- come instruments of fraud in the hands of unscrupu- lous persons. Hence, in all cases where patents have previously been granted for the same invention in foreign countries, the present practice is to insert a provision in the grant stating that the term is subject to the limitation prescribed by section 4887 of the Re- vised Statutes, by reason of certain foreign patents (specifying them) which have been granted for the same invention. A law which obliges the Commis- sioner to place the seal of the United States Patent Office upon Letters Patent for American inventions which state that foreign patents must be examined and foreign laws consulted in order to ascertain when the American patent will expire, should be banished from the statute-books. Aside from its being un- American in its nature, it works the greatest hardship to American inventors. By reason of it the pecuniary value of the American patent is always greatly im- paired and is often substantially destroyed. It is not an uncommon occurrence for negotiations for the sale of important patents, involving large su.us of money, to fall through because of the uncertainty that sur- rounds the duration of the grant, in view of foreign patents first obtained for the same invention. ' Again, the law as it now stands operates in favor of foreign countries by inducing inventors to confer their in- ventions gratuitously upon foreign nations rather than run the risk of impairing their domestic patents by complicating them with patents secured abroad. Thus the law, which is believed to have been origi- nally enacted for the purpose of putting a limit to thd privileges conferred upon foreign patentees, has in its operation become a standing menace to American inventors. I believe that all competent persons who have given attention to the subject agree that future patents for American inventions should be granted for the full term of seventeen years provided by stat- ute, whether or not a patent has been previously ob- tained in a foreign country. I most earnestly recom- mend that, at least as to American inventions patented hereafter, section 4887 of the Revised Statutes be modified so as to prevent a foreign patent previously obtained from affecting the duration of the American grant. I have limited my suggestion to future in- ventions, because the question whether other patents than future patents should be aflEected by amendatory

legislation is one wholly for the wisdom of Congress, and the same may be said of the question whether foreign inventions as well as American inventions should b i brought within the scope of the amended act. I may add with entire propriety, however, that the labors of this Bureau would be greatly lightened if patents for both foreign and American inventions should be granted hereafter for the definite fixed term prescribed by law.

There is another reason why section 4887 of the Re- vised Statutes should be modified or repealed. The United States is now one of the members of the In- ternational Union for the Protection of Industrial Property. This Union is based upon articles adopted on the 20th of March, 1883, at Paris. The nations originally acceding to the Union were Belgium, Bra- zil, Spain, France, Guatemala, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Salvador, Servia, and Switzerland. Other states subsequently became members of the Union, viz: Great Britain, Tunis, Norway, Sweden, the Do- minican Republic, and the United States — the ratifi- cation by the United States taking place March 29, 1887. One object of this Union is to provide that per- sons who have made applications for. patents in one of the states of the Union may have a definite period within which to apply for a patent upon the same in- vention in the other countries belonging to the Union without being prejudiced by intermediate acts, such as the publication or use of the patented article. The period now fixed for that purpose is six months, but an article providing for an additional month for coun- tries beyond the seas gives the citizens of the United States seven months from the filing date of the Ameri- can application within which to apply abroad without the loss of any rights existing at the date of the Ameri- can application. But it is by no means an unusual thing for the American application to be much more than seven months in maturing into a patent. In a great many cases interference proceedings arise with other applications or prior patents. Sometimes sev- eral parties are involved in a contest for priority, and a complicated trial results, extending over an unfor- tunately long period of time. In all such cases the American inventor must be deprived of the benefits designed to result from the Union for the Protection of Industrial Property, or he must apply for a foreign patent within the treaty period of seven months. In case he elects to accept the latter alternative his for- eign application is likely to mature into a patent be- fore the obstacles to the granting of the American patent ai"e removed, in which case section 48 S7 ap- plies and limits the duration of the American patent, besides making it almost impossible to tell when the shortened term will expire. It is to be observed that the rights of the foreign inventor in this country are in nowise affected by speed or delay in obtaining his own home patent, because the patent laws of foreign states do not make the duration of patents depend upon the expiration of the American term. Indeed, the Ameri- can term is so much longer than the longest foreign term that no effect would be produced upon the lat- ter even if the law under which it is granted should provide that it should expire with the American pat- ent previously granted for the same invention. So

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS FOR THE YEAR 1889.

long as section 4887 remains in force, American in- ventors and proprietors of trade-marks must be, in great measure, deprived of the principal advantages intended to be conferred by the Industrial Union.

Ilie Conference at Madrid.

The adhesion of the United States to the Industrial Union has given a new direction to American thought upon the subject of patents and trade-marks. Tiiere- by the interests which this Bureau has in charge have assumed an international claaracter and the Commis- sioner in acquainting Congress with its condition and needs is compelled to direct attention to the Union and to the questions arising in connection therewith. I have already shown that the citizens of the United States are prevented from deriving the full benefit of the treaty from the fact that the period of seven months within which an application may be made for a foreign patent without the loss of any rights through intermediate publication or use runs f i-om the date of the application for the domestic patent. There is much reason to believe that at the time when this provision was adopted no consideration was given to the peculiar feature of the American patent system which requires a careful examination after appUca- tion and before a patent is granted. On the other hand, there is much reason to believe that a change may still be effected which will, without prejudicing the rights of the subjects or citizens of other nations, make the treaty provision also subserve the needs and promote the interests of American inventoi's seeking patents in foreign countries. To accomplish this re- sult it is only necessary to so change Article IV of the Final Protocol as to make the seven months " right of priority " run from the date of publication of the patent first applied for, instead of from the date of the application. If such a change could be effected, it would be of vast importance to American inventors and proprietors of trade-marks. It is proper, therefore, for me to suggest that at the coming conference of the Union, to be held at Madrid on the first of April, 1890, the United States should be represented by delegates who are learned in matters pertaining to the Ameri- can law of patents and trade-marks, and who are fully informed as to those needs and interests of American inventors which can be subserved by giving a wise direction to the deliberations of the International Union.

Caveats.

Section 4902 of the Revised Statutes provides that any citizen of the United States may file a caveat, and that an alien shall have the same privilege if he has resided in the United States for one year next pre- ceding. By Article II of the International Union, rati- fied by the United States March 29, 1887, it is provided ■ that the subjects or citizens of each of the contracting states shall enjoy in all the states constituting the Union, so far as concerns patents for inventions, trade or commercial marks and names, the advantages that the respective laws thereof at present accord to sub- jects or citizens. Subsequently to the adhesion of the United States to the Union, one Ferdinand Bourquin, a Swiss citizen, who had not resided for one year in the United States, offered to file a caveat, basing his

right upon the treaty provision referred to, and claim- ing that thereby the discrimination in the statute against alien inventors had been done away with. The question whether or not such was the case was submitted to the Department of Justice. The Attor- ney-General decided (see 47, Official Gazette, 397) that the treaty was not self -executing, but required legislation to render it effective for the modification of existing laws. I therefore suggest whether the statute should not be so modified as to permit aliens to file caveats upon the same terms and conditions as citizens, thereby carrying into effect the provisions of the treaty stipulation.

Interstate Trade-Marks.

The right of Congress to provide for the registration of trade-marks rests upon its constitutional power to regulate commerce among the States and with foreign nations and the Indian tribes. The act of March 3, 1881, authorizes the registration of only such trade- marks as are used in connection with foreign com- merce or in commerce with the Indian tribes. Trade- marks employed in connection with interstate com- merce are wholly unprovided for by Congress. If there was ever believed to be any sound reason for leaving trade-marks used in interstate commerce un- protected by registration, that reason would seem to be overborne by the same considei'ations which have led Congress to pass comprehensive statutes regulat- ing interstate commerce. The question of registering trade-marks used in interstate commerce is presented in a new aspect by the adhesion of the United States to the Union for the Protection of Industrial Property. Article VI of the Convention acceded to provides;

Every trade or commercial mark regularly deposited in the country of origin shall be admitted to deposit and so protected in all the other countries of the Union.

Additional legislation would seem to be required to enable citizens of the United States to lay a basis for registration abroad by first effecting domestic regis- tration when these trade-marks are used in commerce among the States, and also to enable aliens to .secure by appropriate Congressional action the benefit of the treaty stipulations.

I respectfully renew the recommendation of my predecessor that the provisions of the present law re- lating to the registi'ation of trade-marks be extended so as to cover trade-marks used in interstate com- merce, and in addition I suggest whether apj^ropriate legislation should not be enacted to carry into effect the provision of the Industrial Union to which I have referred.

In this connection I ought also to direct attention to the fact that Articles IX and X of the Convention provide for the seizure upon importation of any arti- cles of merchandise bearing an illicit trade-mark or a fraudulent indication of origin. It is believed that no act of Congress has ever contemplated the seizure of articles of merchandise bearing counterfeit trade- marks. Whether a law should now be enacted, in view of the provision of the Industrial Union, is for Congress to determine.

Attention should also be directed to the fact that the United States is believed by many jurists to have no penal statute on the subject of trade-marks. The act of Congress of August 15, 1876, prescribed penal-

ties of fines and imprisonment for the infringers of registered trade-marks and for the seizure and de- struction of dies, plates, brands, etc., eniployed in the production of counterfeit labels and trade-marks. This law was declared invalid by the Supreme Court of the United States on account of the unconstitu- tionality of the act of 1870 upon which it was based. When the present trade-mark law was enacted in 1 881 , limiting the right of registration to trade-marks used in foreign commerce or in connection with commerce with the Indian tribes, the law of 1876 was believed by many to be still valid with reference to trade-marks entitled to i-egistration under the act of 1881. But it has been recently decided in the case of The United States V. Koch, (40 Fed. Rep., 250,) that an indictment under this act cannot be framed, that it shared the fate of the act of 1870, and was not made operative by the act of 1881. Perhaps it will be deemed wise by Congress to renew the legislation of 1876, so far as re- lates to trade-marks entitled to registration by reason of their use in connection with those forms of com- merce which Congress has the constitutional power to regulate.

Refundment of moneys paid by mistake. Rule 334 of the Rules of Practice of the Patent Office provides that moneys paid by actual mistake, such as a payment in excess, or when not required by law, or by neglect or misinformation on the part of the Office, will be refunded. This rule was established by the Commissioner of Patents, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, under power conferred by section 483 of the Revised Statutes, and governs the action of the Office in refunding moneys paid by mis- take. Although this rule has been in force for many years and successive Commissioners have acted under it, I am satisfied that a course of business of such im- portance should have a more substantial basis than an office rule. Although the amount involved in each item of refundment is slight, the aggregate sum is not i:iconsiderable, amounting during the year 1889 to §12, .500. 63. It has been found in practice that the course prescribed by the rule is the only one adapted to the ti-ansaction of the business of the Office. For instance, it becomes necessary in many cases to re- fimd money paid as fees for the registration of labels. The law provides that for the i-egistration of a label a fee of six dollars shall be paid. On examination it is very frequently found that the label is not entitled to be registered. It has been held by competent au- thority that in all such cases the fee must be refunded. Meanwhile the money originally paid to the Commis- sioner has gone into the Treasury. Under such cir- cumstances the only feasible method of complying with the law, and the method pursued under Rule 234, is to pay back the money received as the fee for reg- istration out of any funds on hand, and to deduct the same from the aggregate sum payable to the Treasury on the next accounting. Under the system of ac- counting now employed the books and accounts of the Patent Office are thoroughly examined every month by officials of the Treasury Department, so that by no possibility could any detriment result if the course prescribed by Rule 234 had the express sanction of law. I therefore recommend that a statute be enacted

directly authorizing the Commissioner of Patents to make refundments out of any money in his hands in all cases where payment may have been made by act- ual mistake, such as payment in excess, or when not required by law, or by neglect or misinformation on the part of the Office. No refundments are now made when the original payment was by certificate of de- posit; but it is believed that the power to make re- fundments should include cases in which the original payment was by certificate. The ground of the re- payment being that the payment should not originally have been accepted by the Office, or cannot lawfully be retained, it can make no difference how or in what form the payment was originally made.

Date of Letters Patent — Section 4885. Section 4885 of the Revised Statutes provides that — Every patent shall bear date as of a day not later than six months from the time at which it was passed and allowed and notice thereof was sent to the applicant or his agent ; and if the final fee is not paid within that period the patent shall be with- held.

This section of the law permits an inventor to wait six months after the allowance of his application and after notice sent before paying the final fee, and yet it requires that the patent shall bear date not later than six months from the sending of such notice of allowance. The Office can do nothing toward pre- paring the Letters Patent until the final fee is paid, after which payment between two and three weeks must elapse before the patent is fully prepared for signature. In order to issue the patent upon the day of its date it has long been the practice of the Office to send a second notice of allowance in cases where the fee is paid so late that the patent cannot be ready for signature within the six months prescribed by law. This practice seems to be the only practicable one ; but it certainly does not commend the statute which makes it necessary. I recommend such an alteration of this section as will remedy the defect which has been pointed out. One remedy which has been sug- gested is to require all patents to be granted as of the day on which the application was allowed and the patentee notified, six months being allowed for the payment of the final fee, as heretofore. Another method is to provide that the patent shall bear date not later than seven months after the allowance of the application and the sending of the notice. The latter method, which is perhaps the preferable one, would permit the Office to begin preparing the patent for signature after the payment of the final fee in all cases, and would also afford sufficient time to permit the issues for a given week to bear date the same day, in accordance with the present practice. It would probably be unwise to shorten the period for paying the final fee, as the present practice of making pay- ment within six months has become so firmly estab- lished that numerous forfeitures would inevitably re- sult from requiring the fee to be paid during a shorter period.

Interference proceedings.

Complaints which are not wholly groundless are made against some features of the present system of conducting interferences. Section 4904 of the Revised Statutes requires that whenever an application is made for a patent which in the opinion of the Commissioner would interfere with any pending application, or with

Xll

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS FOR THE YEAR 1889.

any unexpired patent, he shall institute proceedings to determine the question of priority of invention. It not infrequently happens that when an interference originally declared between two parties has been brought to a conclusion a third party appears in the Office as an applicant for a patent upon the same in- vention. Under such circumstances an interference must be declared between the prevailing party in the first proceeding and the later applicant, who is en- titled to have the question tried, with all the rights pertaining to the cross-examination of witnesses, j)re- cisely as if no investigation had been had before his advent into the Office. So, too, when an interference is progressing toward its close, it sometimes occurs that interested parties enter the field, not for the pur- pose of obtaining a patent, but to prevent the first in- ventor from receiving his patent for as long a time as possible. It is currently believed that this is done in many cases in order that interested parties may meanwhile derive profit from practicing the inven- tion. Some remedy should be found for the injustice both to the original inventor and to the public which the present system as established by law is liable to produce and sometimes does produce. Perhaps a law based upon the fact that one of the earlier applicants is presumptively the first inventor, and providing that a patent shall issue to the applicant who prevails upon the interference as first declared, leaving subsequent applicants to contest priority with the patentee, would be found to constitute a practical remedy for some of the incidental evils of the existing system. I com- mend the subject to the attention of Congress. Exchange of publications.

I renew the recommendation that the Commissioner of Patents be authorized to exchange the Official Gazette for any publication of a scientific or useful character published in this or any foreign country adapted to the needs and uses of the Scientific Library of the Patent Office, and also that the Gazette may be furnished the clerk of any Federal court, or to the library belonging to the court, in exchange for copies of the decisions rendered by such Federal court in patent and trade-mark causes.

Charge for certified copies.

It is suggested that there should also be a law au- thorizing the Commissioner to furnish certified copies of printed matter at the same rates which would be charged for the same printed matter if uncertified, with the addition only of the fee now prescribed by law for the official certificate. No adequate reason can be given for charging ten cents per one hundred words for a certified copy of a printed patent when the same patent could be had, however extended, for the maximum price of twenty-five cents. The law might read as follows :

For certified copies of patents and other papers, when written copies are required, ten cents per one hundred words ; but when

certified printed copies of patents are required, twenty-flve cents for the printed copy and twenty five cents for tlie certificate thereof.

Accompanying this report are lists or indexes of all patents granted during the calendar year 1889, prop- erly classified under subjects of invention, and alpha- betical lists of all patentees, with their places of resi- dence. No patents were extended during the year.

The place of the Patent Office among governmental agencies is as unique as it is important. It is con- cerned neither with the collection nor the expenditure of the ordinary public revenues. Unobtrusive and im- sensational in its work and methods, it asks nothing of the Treasury excepting moneys which its joatrons contribute, and nothing of Congress excepting meas- ures to secure its highest efficiency. As it enters upon the second century of the system which it ad- ministers, the distrust which has existed to some ex- tent of its functions has happily passed away. The triumphs of American invention have attracted uni- versal admiration, and the conspicuous demonstration of their importance and usefulness has turned distrust to confidence. I verily believe that no law or legal system in any age or any land has ever wrought so much wealth, furnished so much labor for human hands, or bestowed so much material blessing in every way as the American patent system. If the first interest of humanity is employment, in no respect does the patent system so convincingly vindicate itself as in its tendency to enlarge the scope of remunerated toil. For just as the Western Territories — now, for the most part, happily elevated to statehood — have by inviting immigration reduced the fierceness of competition in the ranks of the established industries, so the new realms of industry that have been brought into being by American inventors have supplied millions of men with remunerative labor who would otherwise be competing for underpaid employment in the over- stocked labor markets of the old-fashioned industries.

But the territories of American invention know no Pacific sea. Their farther bounds expand as their hither borders are occupied. Illimitable in extent and inexhaustible in resources, they will yield up un- imagined treasures of invention in all the coming centuries, just as they have done in the hundred years of marvels whose recorded story, drawing toward its close, is at once the tribute and the glory of the American patent system.

Respectfully and yet urgently I invoke the good offices of Congress in behalf of justice to the Patent Office.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

C. E. MITCHELL, Commissioner.
