Patents and What They Protect.

A business man in this city who is up
to his ears in the work necessary to
gather capital TO float an enterprise, and
at the same time to keep information of
the nature of it away from busy rivals,
found time last week to say: did you
ever think that patent does not patent
IN this country? Well, it's a fact. All
that the patent Office does is to give you
paper with some writing ON it, but if
another man steals your idea and goes
to manufacturing your invention the
patent Office will not lift fnger to pro-
tect you or to stand by its own decision.
The fact that you've got a patent is
point in your favor, but you've got to
hire lawyers and fight the thief in the
courts, and if he can stand it to hire
lawyers longer than you can that settles
You, and you might as well make him
present Of your invention. There are lots
of men in the country who are getting
rich on the discoveries of other people.
All they had to do was to take 'em and
fight the real discoveries into poverty.
The patent Office, to be respected and to
be of any use, ought to have the power
to cause the stealer of patent to be sent
to prison. New York Sun.
