ing for the patent Office This institution has for
many years past occupied portion of the build.
Ing OF the department of the interior at Washing
ton and since the volume of inventions pouring
In to be considered candidates for patents has
steadily increased year by year it has naturally
followed that the present quarters are hopelessly
inadequate. In order to make room the authori-
ties few years ago arranged to get rid OF tho
thous ands Of original models of old inventions
which had accumulated in the days when 1t
was necessary to send working model as well
as drawings with application for patent. But
this was by complete solution for
the problems. The patent Office must needs file
aEl keep on permanent record the papers In every
patent case. and these have been piling up at
such rate In recent years that it is grave prob
lem how and where to store them in such fashion
that they readily be brought to light when
needed for reference as in the case Of the law
suits that are always growing out Of patents
inventions.
However, there are other branches OF our ma.
tonal government that need new buildings just as
much as does the patent Office and this brings us
to the novel argument that is being advanced in
behalf OF the patent office being granted new
home In advance of all others. 1t Is being pointed
out to congress that the patent Office is gov
eminent institution and almost the only one, that
is sefsustaining. For other activities Uncle Sam
has to go down In his pocket, rather the people
do through the medium of taxes. In maintaining
the patent Office however, the inventors and they
alone pay the freight" What Is more, not only
Is this bureau for inventors self-supporting, but
1t actually returns profit, or In other words, II
has on hand surplus at the end of each year
after all expenses have been paid. This net sur
plus has been ping up in the United States treas
ury until It now amounts to about $1,000, 900. and
1T is this money, such part of II may be nee
essary, that 1t is desired to have expended for a
building for the patent office.
AS is we'll known, we Americans are the great
est nation OF inventors in the world. About a
million United States patents have been granted,
whereas the aggregate number of foreign patents
granted by all foreign countries combined has
amounted to date to only about two million pat
ents. The fever of invention in the United States
has waned temporarily in panic year" and IL
slumped at one time during the Civil war, but
otherwise there has been steady increase In the
number OF patents issued, and from $4,000 10
1000 new patents now issued each year. In

other state thus holding up the long established
reputation of the Connecticut Yankees" Next
comes the District of Columbia and then Cali
fornia Washington, Nevada Colorado and other
western states.
The present commissioner of patents, Mr. Ed
ward b. Moore, is one of the ablest administrators
who has ever been at the head of this branch OF
the government. 1t has been his aim and ambi-
ton to expedite in every manner possible the ex-
aminations of all applications for patents pre-
sented-thereby enabling the quick issuance OF
patents whose novelty If not validity can in time
be guaranteed by the government. This will do
away with the criticisms of the patent Office for
its slowness In passing upon patents, and it will
also do away with large amount of the litigation
which now devolves upon inventors by being
drawn into suits for infgingments, etc. In line
with these improved methods there is in
progress classification of all the material in
the patent office. This means the systematic
classification Of all the material through which the
patent Offices expert examiners have to search
when they passing upon the applications or
inventors. When this vast accumulation OF
data is arranged for ready reference 1t will enable
the Issuing of patents more quickly after appca-
lions are received than has ever heretofore been
possible and more important yet, 1t will give to
every patent Issued greater guarantee OF validity
than is possible now when such document is
issued following what may eventually be proven
to have been an incomplete search" In which the
examiner inadvertently overlooked failed to

of these men have been in their present positions
for twenty thirty years and have at their
finger tips everything connected with the history
and development of invention in their espective
spheres, and yet Uncle Sam gets the services OF
these experienced authorities for salaries that in
most cases do not exceed 81 500 to So 900 per year
In each division there is a force of clerical
workers who file the drawings which must be
presented with every patent application in lieu

comes the greatest inventive nation on the globe,
very few of citizens have any intimate knowl-
edge of the machinery which the federal govern
ment maintains for examining inventions and
granting patents.
This comparative ignorance OF the facilities
and methods Of the government institution that
devotes itself to inventions extends even to a
majority of inventors themselves-the hundreds
of thousands of men and women who are either
engaged In inventive work today or have, at some
time In the past, exercised their nimble brains
in an effort to devise something that would be
improvement upon the existing state or
things. That interested parties are thus In
the dark Is due to the fact that the patent bust
of the country is largely In the hands OF
attorneys-special lawyers who devote them
selves exclusively to this line of practice Nine
out of ten who evolve invention and desire
to have 1t patented soon come to realize that the
operation Is an intricate one, requiring special
knowledge and they turn the work over to
some of these go-betweens and have nothing
to do with the matter until they get the
coveted parchment year or two years hence and
pay the BILL which may be SIS or 800, if circum-
stances warrant, for you know getting patent
is not exactly cheap operation.
