prved Of half the natural proceeds of his in
vention for the lifetime Of his orisinal patent
he would still be uneltit6d to an extension
provided the Commissioner were satisfied that
his ingenuity had nevertheless been fairly re-
compensed. 1t may be that tais is better 'ADh
the law as it reads, but it is clearly not the
law; for that, as it stood Up TO las. February
authorized an inventor to claim aud receive
an extension when lie had not eojoyed fourteen
years profits Of his invention, no matter no"
large lis receipts may have been. Congress
last Spring enacted that all patents thereafter
issued should run for seventeen years, ana nave
10 extension.
Bat one important point which the Commis-
sioncr touches without Thoroughly graphing
with is that Of the abstract Right of Inventors
70 a property in their inventions Is there snch
4 ri.ht in nature or is it creature OF iaw
alone Mr. Holloway truly premises that the
vulgar notion that patent is grant by the
Nation TO on inventor is erroneous. 1t Is tho
| inventor who confers q benefit on the commit
nity. not the community which bes'ows q
bounty on the inventor. The man who makes
an Ak or plow after the old pattern is the nh
sonle owner Of that az, provided he came
honestly by the material; but suppose man
were 20 inyen: far better Ak than the world
has vet seen, would he be the absolute owner
of his invention, so that no one else could
rightfully profit by it without his consent
And if the inventor has such q neutral right,
how and when may no be rightiully dive'ted
of il!
Mr.. Holloway makes the patent o rccOmpen3e
to lie inventor, not for inyenling something OF
value to mankind, but Cor making his invention
known. But suppose there were 40 patent
laws, might any one honestly and innocentiy
use ib7entious vithca. leave from or recompensc
TO the inventor And if not, with what justice
limit the lifetime Of patents to fourteen or sey'
enteen years.
We understood tho inventor to have natural
right Of property in his inyeniion, but gh
limited and qualified by the manifest probability
that. had he not made it, somc one else woald
have done so at some time thereafter. Tie FRS
man who over made a plow, or AK, or mus
ket, canno, Justly claim perpetual monopoly o
the right to produce articles having the same gen
cral character and use, because il is morally GER
tain that the Invention would have been made
even though he had missed it. The State, then
makes rough guess at the time during whicl
the use of q certain invention would have beer
lost to mankind by the failure Of this particular
inventor to hit upon it, and gives him pat
