! speak of his condition as safe, and to express
his opinion that re- endorsements had better
not be sent to him.
| The point of difference between the two
! Houses on the bill recognizing the Patent
! Office was in reference to the extension of
| patents. The House had amended it, pro-
viding that no patent should be ressued
| when the Commissioner was satisfied that
both the inventor and assignee had netted
! 100000.
The Senate amended the bill by confninp
that amount ofprofit to the inventor alone.
! The Committee of Conference consisted of
Messrs. Douglas, Cameron and Fitch, of the
Senate, and Cox, Frank and Barr, of the
House, who adopted, in place of what is
| above stated, the following:
"All patents hereafter granted shall re-
main in force seventeen years from the date
| OF issue, and all extensions of such patents
are hereby prohibited" The bill was thus
passed.

to present patents in Congress, and all pat.
ents granted after this passing can not be
renewed at the Patent Office. ...
