BRITISH PATENT Ii ".

Such inventors ip this country have been
in an unplea easant state Of uncertainty regard
ing the effects of the British patents and de
signs act which went into force about wear
ago msy find encoura cement in an editorial
discussion of the subject by Engineering
H.ondonl in its issue of December H. The
enactment applies equally 10 British and foreign
patents One section of it 40. 27l authorizes a
revocation Of the privileges granted by them If
the manufacture Of the patented articles is not
conducted In the United Kingdom ms well as
in the country where the patentee lives but the
act employs language which seems TO be sus-
ceptible of more than one Interpretation.
The law provides that any one may petition
the Controller tan official whose functions CORE
spond to those Of the Commissioner Of Patents
i'm the United Statesl for revocation The
Controller must consider the petition. and he
may revoke the patent if he finds the allega-
tions are correct. However. he must give the
patentee a hearing to ascertain whether manu-
featuring under the patent is conducted to an
adequate extent in Great Britain. or
whether the patentee can give satisfactory
reasons" for his neglect. 1t is also provided
that revocation may be delayed for n reason
able interval TO be prescribed by the Con
troller in order requiring the patentee TO
begin business in the British Isles. Even then
extension Of time for a year at most. is
Of appeal from the Controller to q court Ev-
dently, then, a considerable opportunity for
delay and defence Is afforded Who can fore
see, for instance what the Controller will rc-
gard as "an adequate extent" Satisfactory
reasons" or a reasonable interval" or how
much time can be consumed In legal proceed
ings calculated 10 deter final verdict? Who
can say how frequently the decision of the Con-
trOller will be affirmed, and how often It NAV
be reversed? About all that is known at pres
ent is that within the last twelve months eleven
petitions have been presented, but no decisions
have been rendered.
