THE PATENT LAWS.

A Proposed Substitute for the House Bill
to Amend the Patent Laws Containing
Some Practical Provisions for Simplify
ing the Conduct of Affairs of the Patent
Office.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The House
committee on patents, through Mr.. ST.
monds, of Connecticut, yesterday re-
ported to the House substitute bill re-
Gently agreed upon by the committee in
place of bill to amend the Patent laws.
One section of the substitute bill pro-
vides that an improvement to an inven-
tion that has been described for two
years in any journal shall not be pat
ented, and in reference to this the re-
ports says: THE purpose of this section
is to bar an application for a patent
upon an improvement after that i'm
provement has been described for
more than two years in prior patent or
printed publication Under the existing
statute, two years public use of an i'm
provement in this country is a bar to an
application for patent thereon. This
provision of existing law has proved
statutory in operation; the principle un-
ueEIy ing OuIS pIOFloIOh VI CAAoOiliS loH
requires that two years of description
of an improvement in a patent or
printed publication shall also be made
to bar an applicati ton for patent there
on, for the reason that a larger degree
of publicity is generally given to an
improvement by two years of descrip-
tion in patent or printed publication
than by an ordinary two years public
use, which use is almost always local
and unknown outside the particular To-
cality in which it circulates."
Another section provides for taxing
patents, and in regard to it the report
says: This proposed amendment is
founded upon the idea that if, at the
end of five years after the grant of a
patent, it is of such little value to the
owner that he does not care to pay a tax
of $40 thereon, the patent shall expire;
and that if, at the end of ten years, tho
patent is of such little value as not I'd
warrant tax Of S25, it shall then ex'
pire. The purpose is to weed out unde-
veloped and useless patents, to the end
that they shall not block the way OF
subsequent inventions.
