IMPORTANT PATENT DECISIONS.
AN INVENTOR NOT OBLIGED TO STATE sPECIPI-
CALLY THE CONNECTING "MEANS"
REFERRED TO IN HIS CLAIM.

REFERRED TO IN HIS CLAIM.
Washington July 6-The Commissioner Of Patents
has decided a case involving the question whether
or not an inventor has the right, in filing his apphca
ton for a patent to state his invention so broadly
as TO cover infringers those who appropriated the
principle of his invention, whether they enjoyed his
special means or not. believing himself entitled to
protection irrespective of the special means employed
I'm his combination of elements. The examiner tn the
office to whom the application was referred raised
an objec hOn the application, the grounds that
the claims were vague and litigous. The examiner
required that the applicant should state specifically
the certain connecting means referred to in the
claims.
The Commissioner Of Patents, in his decision to-
day held That If the applicant did not limit himself
to the means by which certain results were at
aned! and the invention did reside I'm such means
there reason why he should be compelled to
restrict himself I'm the manner required by the ex-
amlner. He held that this question was not one Of
form but Of merit, from which appeal should lie to
the examncr-in-chief. He further held that there
was no reason why the applicant should be compelled
TO state his claims that another person. using the
same combination OF elements. would be held 10 be
free from the charge of infringement II he should
pr1denty omit more of the specific means
employed by the patentee.
Relative to the objection that the claims were
ltlgOus,' the Commissioner held that IL is not the
province Of the Patent Office TO save lawsuits by un
duly imposing limitations upon claims.
