IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.

DIES MONIES, Dec. 3.--S. P, OF
Leland, Iowa, asks, us there any law
or decision to prevent any person from
making and using a patented article
for himself only, although he have not
got permission of the owner?" Yes.
A patent gives the owner the exclusive
right to make, vend and use the inven-
ton for seventeen years. No person
has a right to make and use patented
invention for his own use without
license. If one person could do so
every other person would have the
same privilege, and patent for an
invention that can be easily made
would go into general use without
profit to the patentee. A patent has
been allowed to +. w. Stevens, of Sac
City, Ia, for hose nozzle adapted for
throwing straight solid stream, a
radiating spray or sheet all around,
spray and solid stream at the Same
time, or spray only half way around,
