Edward Bruce Moore. commissioner OF
patents, has been requested by Secretary
Ballinger to continue as the head OF the
United States patent ONCE during his
administration OF the Department of the
Interior.
Mr.. Moore is the first commissioner to
be appointed from the office force. Since
becoming commissioner he has succeeded
in SO impressing the appropriation COM
mittees Of Congress with the needs OF
the Office that that body has incres sed
the force by eighty eight people and rails
ed the salaries OF the examining corps all
the way from $500 to $500 a year each.
AS prominent attorney said:
This Is the first time that the salaries
OF these highly technically educated men
had been Increased since 1S48-a period Of
sixty years. Previous TO this increase.
owing to the great number of examiners
who were resigning to enter the service
Of corporations and to practice before the
office, which amounted to large per-
centage OF the force of experienced men.
It was impossible to fill their places with
experienced men. The result has been
men with a college education would not
take the examination. Therefore It was
necessary to appoint such men as could
be found who had some slight technical
knowledge.
THE present commissioner has brought
the work OF the Office UP until it is now
practically current in all its branches"
Mr.. Moore was sent abroad last sum-
mer by the Department of State. II is
understood he was successful In nego-
tiating treaties with foreign nations re-
lating to the non-working of patented
inventions in foreign countries. which
had been for some time a source OF great
annoyance to the manufacturing and
commercial Industries of the country as
we'll as the inventors.
Commissioned Moore is president OF the
Washington Society of the Sons Of the
American Revolution. BY numerous de-
cisions he has rendered he has protected
the flag and national emblems as well as
the emblem OF the American National
Red Cross Society from use for marks OF
trade in this and foreign countries.
The justices Of the Court OF Appeals of
the District OF Columbia were highly
gratified when informed that Mr.. Moore
would continue in Office. As one Of them
expressed II, in view of the fact that
all appeals from the commissioner lie to
that court, it IL quite necessary to have
an experienced man as commissioner, as
the practice Of the patent office is highly
technical and is what has been termed
the metaphysics Of the law.
The examiners and other employees of
the office are much pleased that there Is
10 he no change. One of them said:
1T IL absolutely necessary to have a
man as commissioner who possesses both
legal and technical qualificatio tons as we'll
as experience in the patent Office
