no instance that now recall have the patentees,
under like circumstances, been able to enforce
their claims in the courts. In point Of fact the
patent is invalid and the certificate is nothing
but piece of paper carrying no evidence of
priority OF invention. and it is greatly to be re-
GREETED that through whatever legal techni-
cality or laxity in the patent Office, it should
ever have been granted.
Prof. Riley mentioned other cases of this
kind where. after years of labor and large ex-
penditure on the part Of the Department Of
Agriculture, valuable results had been OBJ
tanned. In some cases they took the form of
mechanisms, which were described and figured
in the official reports. He said:
There Is nothing more discouraging to an
officer Of the government engaged in original
investigations with view to benefiting the
public than the efforts of various private in
di,ldusls to appropriate the results of which
the foregoing case is an example. l have been
engaged now for nearly quarter of a century
either as a state Or government officer In lnves-
LEGATIONS, having for their object in the main
the protection Of plants and domestic animals
from the attacks of injurious insects. Either
directly or with the aid Of assistants these in
vestigations have resulted in some important
discoveries OF universal application, and
l can say with pride that though often
urged to take personal advantage of such dis
coveries, have In no single instance accepted
a Zee for information given or received a dollar
from any application of these discoveries, even
where others have reaped fortunes. As a sala-
ried officer my dnty was plain and make the
statement without boastfulness and simply to
emphasize the discouraging fact that in every
instance where the benefit to the public has
been great either the honor has been contested
by private parties or else means have been
taken by private individuals to control through
patent or otherwise the discoveries for their
personal ends. 1t seems to me that on this
account the patent Office should be extremely
careful in considering applications for patents
for objects which the government is already
endeavoring to accomplish, to ascertain fully
what the government has done, as any other
course Will tend to pervert, discourage and
neutrallze all honest effort made by other de-
partments of the government tor the public
