Fogg & Breed have nearly printed the last
sheets of their annual year book or Maine

Some new features, such as the census. of 1870

fessional and business men of this city has
been added, aud all printed on new type. which

Our I ees.

We call attention TO the follow
ing extract from the last report of
the Commissioner OF Patent is:
Nv hen cstablishm ents are or
ganized for the purpose Of proeur-
ing patents, they are apt to become
more solicitious about the number
than the quality of those which
they obtain. This tendency is ag-
gravated by those who solicit pat
ents upon contingent fees. or who.
without special training or qualifi-
cations, adopt this business as an
incident to claim agency, and
press for patents as they press for
back pay and pensions Such men
are often more DESTROYS of obi ain
ing a patent of any kind, and by
any means, than they are of obtain
ing one which shall be 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 aud 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 athing called q patt at,
that they may secure their own fee,
have in too many instances proved
curse. To get rid of tt cir client
and of trouble, they have some
times been content to take less
than he was entitled to, while in
many cases they have, with much
self laudatlon, presented him with
the shadow, when the substance
was be, ond his reach
With the class thus denounced, we do not
propose 10 compete, Dut our long experience
in the patent Office and the courts, has we re-
specially submit, given such facilities for
the transaction OF business, that Of
Ter our services for fees low as auv reputa-
bic practitioners afford TO charge and
far below what any competent persons can
afford. who have yet to famifarize themselves
with the enormous and constantly increasing
mass of American and foree patents. We
charge no more than fair remuneration. We
~are not willing to work for less. In ordinary
cases, our charge is $40, which covers all our
fees be ore the Exam liner and the Board of
Examiners IN chief. Exceptionally difficult
cases must be made matter of special ar
rangeGent. Our fee is not conditional We
cannot afford to work for nothing. But we
rarely tail to get patent after a favorable
report on a preliminary examinati- n. The
Commissioners report shows that about IS
per cent of the applications made in 500,
were finally rejected. OF cases filed BY us
during that year, less than 4 per cent. were
thus rejected.
