Commissioner Seymour to Abolish
Methods That Permit Frauds.
LEGISLATION is NOT NECESSARY
Of $4,000 Applications fer Patents Nov. Pend
ing Large Proportion Have Been on File
More Than Ten Years Devices by Which
the Life of Patent Was Prolonged
Worked Serious Hardship to Inventors.

Commissioner of Patents, John S. Seymour
has determined upon method which will
prevent the abuses and frauds which are ad-
mitted to exist in the delay of patentees in
taking out patents.
The action about 10 be taken by the Com
missioner is the result Of a condition of
business methods in the office which had
become alarming.
Chief Clerk Newton said yesterday that
there are now pending about $4,000 applica-
tons for patents. OF this number large
proportion has been pending for more than
ten years. AS the law now stands an appica-
ticn may lie in the Office for two years with
out any action being taken by the applicant.
and at the expiration of that time, by various
devices or excuses, the time for taking out the
patent may be
ALMOST INDEFINITELY EXTENDED.
The Com missioner of Patents has decided
to put in operation at the earliest day rule
that the applications must be pushed and
realized upon within six months MIR. New
ton said that it is the Commissioners opinion
that he has the right as commissioner to
make such rule without any special legal
enactment. He further said that the Com
missioner was of the opinion that if he toIer-
ated the abuse he would be to that extent
responsible for if.
The decision when put in force will have
considerable effect on the business of the
patent lawyer, who makes money out of the
laws delay, but will rather be to the ad-
vantage OF that class OF lawyers and patentees
whose object is to
GET OUT THEIR PATENTS PROMPTLY.
Commissioner Seymour met yesterday a
committee of the American Bar Association
at the Arlington, the committee desiring to
propose certain amendments to the patent
law Mr.. Seymour said that nothing had
been agreed upon so far as he knew. but that
the committee would merely report to the
Bar Association at its next meeting. Mr..
Seymour, however, said that it was not his
object TO ''revise" the laws of Congress on
patents. 1t is said that the Commissioners s
views about the remedy for preventing delay
were not unanimously indorsed by the COM
mittee of the Bar Association
The committee on patent law OF the asso-
citation will meet at the Arlington Hotel on
Monday next for the purpose of considering
and formulating amendments to patent laws
to be recommended TO Congress for action.

The members who have stood wi h Mr..

suit TO tie lawyers from Ohio, who have
made hard flght for Judge Rick5 the past
