Our Fees.

We call attention 10 the follow
ing extract from the last report Of
the Commissioner of Patents:
''When establishments are or
ganIzed for the purpose Of prccur-
ing patterns, they are apt to become
more solicitious about the nnmher
than the quality of those which
they ohtsin. This tendency is ag
gravated by those who solicit pat
eDts upon contingent fees. or who.
without special training or qualifi
ca,ions. adopt this business as an
incident to claim agency. and
press for patents as ,hey nress for
back pay and pensions Such men
are often more DESTROYS OF oh ain
ing a patent of any kind, and by
any means, than thew are of obtain
ing one which shall he of any value
to their clients. Inventors are
often poor, uneducated, and lack
ing in legal knowledge. They de
sire cheap solicitor, and do not
know how to choose a good one
Tie yare pleased with the parch
ment and the seal, and are not
themselves able to judge of the
scope or value Of the grant.
"Honest and skillful solicitors,
with thorough knowledge of the
practice Of the office, and of pat
ent law, and who are able and will
ing to advise their clients as to the
exact value OF the patents which
they can obtain for them, may be
OF much service to inventors
There are many such, but those
who care for nothing but to give
them som ething called patent,
that they may secure their own fee.
have in too many instances proved
a curse. To get rid of t: cir client
and of trouble. they have some
times been content to take less
than he was entitled to, lille in
many cases they have. with much
self laudatinn, presented him with
the shadow, when the substance
was hey ond his reach"
With the class thus denounced, we do not
propose to comnete, butour long experience
in the patent Office and the courts has we re-
spectfuiy submit. given us such facilities for
the transaction of business, that we can of.
ter our services for fees as low as any reputa-
Bile practitioners can afford to charge and
lar below what any competent persons can
aHoi d, who have vet to familiariZe themselves
with the enormous and constantly increasing
mass OF American and foreign patents. We
charge no more than fair remuneration We
are not willing to work for less. In ordinary
cases, our charge is $40, vs. hict covers all our
fees be ore the Exam liner aud the Board of
Examiners in chief. Exceptionally difficult
cases must be made matter of special ar
rangement. Our fee is not Conditional. We
cannot afford to work for nothing. But we
rarely tail to get patent after a favorable
report on preliminary examipati, n. The
Commissioner report shows that about IS
per cent. OF the applications made in 1869,
were hnaiiy rejected. or cases filed BY us
during that year, less than per cent. were
thus rejected.
