and some have recommended a change
Gen. Ellis Spear, in 1871, in mis- annual
report 70 Congress, argued that the Com
missioner be relieved of his judicial
duties. and that said duties, as well as
those now devoiving on the board Of ex-
aminers-in-chief. should be conhded to
more permanent tribunal than any then
existing
This idea has grown with the passage
Of the years into fixed opinion, among
those conversant with the patent prac-
tice that the present plan Of two appeals
within the office should be abolished and
a single appeal substituted. Not only
would this save money for the inventor
both in government and attorneys fees,
but It would make the decision Of the ap-
pellate tribunal more binding and au-
thoritative than they are now. A decision
Of the board Of appeals is scarcely ever
cited by an attorney in his argument be-
fore an examiner. This is partly due to
the fact that the decisions are never
published, and partly because the ex-
! aiming corps do not accept them as
/ final. except in the particular cases in
which they are rendered.
Because OF this fact, and 10 improve
conditions within the Office, a bill has
been introduced in Congress Oh. r. 1850
providing for a single appeal by ere
atlng new tribunal composed Of the
three members now constituting the
hoard. together with the Commissioner
of Patents and the two Assistant Com
missioners. The exact terms of the bill

pointed oy the District Patent Bar AS
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon following Il
discussion which was characterized in
whispers as a rUnpus.
II is understood that Mr. J. ". Watson
is a member OF the committee and that
Mr. J. \, Colt was one of those who de-
manded its appointment, though the pro-
ceedings were not made public.
Opinions widely Differ.
Since Commissioner Moore. Of the
Patent Office, in a recent speech de-
clared a revision of the patent laws
was imperative because c. per cent Of
the patents granted are not worth the
paper they are written upon, there have
been some lively disputes among at
torneys. many Of which were directed at
the Commissioner. Arthur p. Greeley
made a statement Thursday declaring
the facts had been misrepresented. The
Commissioners idea OF establishing a
new patent Office with patent court in
It's connection 60 simplify methods OF OBJ
tanning patents has met with favor and
disfavor.

one Of those who agreed with Mr.
Moore last night, and is 10 submit a

Germanys patent system is far ahead Of
that Of the United States, from which it
was copied all arguments TO the con

United States laws are worthless, though
they may be valid.
