We transfer from the Norfolk Argus the following
highly sensible ard liberal article, on q subject Of
much interest and imp0rtance
ALTERATIONS rs THE PATENT LAws.-We oh.
serve that move has been made in Congress to
amend the present Patent laws. That this is neces-
sary every who has taken out patent testi.
fy. The chief features of the measure which are
likely to meet with the sanction of the House, are
complete codifcstion of the Potent laws, uniformity
of system, and equalization of fees paid by foreign
and native inventors. The mousrous inequality that
exiss in this respect is a patent evil of he present
system. The eIaction of higher fee from foreign.
than citizen ID contrary TO the spirit OF the age.
England and France make distinction between
native and foreign genius, and countrymen
have concusiyely proved from past experience that
they have nothing to fear from competition, this in.
equality should be removed from statute book.
But there is one thing that Congress s in duty
the patentee Inventions of the greatest importance
to the trade and convenience of the country made
which by the infringement Of the patent by powerful
companies are often made unproducve to the invent
or. Even after renewal s granted, the intermnsble
suits which the paentee has 10 conduct to prevent in
fringement wastes all his hard earned gains. In this
case, Congress should empower board Of examiners
in chief investigate the case, and if justice demands
il, grant extension to the Inventor Our Republic
should foster the creative and inventive genius which
hss reflected much glory upon it, and justice often
requires that patentee sha be allowed extension
of the monopoly of the fruits of bic industry and tai.
