SEES GREAT INJUSTICE
TO FOREIGN INVENTORS
Ewing Would Amend Act Gov
erning Importaions for
Frisco Fair.
Measure, Said to Be Unconstitu-
tional. Might Also Hurt Ameri-
can Producer.

Declaring that he believed the Kahn
act, providing for the free importation
of articles intended for the Panama-Pa-
cihc exposition at San Francisco, SO faI
as 1t related to patents and trade marks,
was unconstitutional and would work an
injustice to foreign inventors as well as
10 American producers, Commissioner of
Patents Thomas Ewing today sent TO
Senator Simmons, chairman of the Sen
ate finance committee, a letter explain
ing mis- position and also 4 draft of a
bill intended as an amendment for the
Kahn act. Senator Simmons had previ-
ousIy requested Mr.. Ewing to give his
views on this matter.
Letter to Senator.
In his letter to Senator Simmons, Mr.
Ewing says:
NO one can obtain a valid patent
under any system of patent laws in
conformance with the Constitution of
the United States, who is not an in
ventor The Kahn act requires only
the registration of a patent already
granted in a foreign country There
Is no requirement that the conditions
Of grant, of patents in this country
should be complied with; and if the
patent be granted in France, where
no examination of novelty is made
protection in the nature of a patent
viii re given under the Kahn act as an
inducement to exhibit at the exposi-
ton INDEPENDENTLY of whether the ex-
hIbit patented constitutes an invention
or not.
As the Constitution recognizes no
such right on the part of Congress. I
believe that the act is unconstitu-
tional and foreign exhibitors will find
- 50 unsatisfactory and uncertain they
VIII conclude they have been offered
a protection which is merely a sham.
No Defenses Provided.
F2feHted inventions other than designs
8 pHid be eliminated because it is
thought to be impracticable for our
courts u construe and enforce patents
or processes, machines and the like in
accordance with the laws of the various
foreign nations granting them. as is
contemplated and necesstated by the
terms Of the Kahn act. Against these
foreign patents no defenseS are pro-
Weed by the Kahn act, SO that American
citizens would he placed in a position of
defending suits brought under foreign
patents. with no provision in our
statute indicating what defenses would
