PATENT OFFICES
SALARIES TOO LOW
Boston Expert Tells Research

Is Disgrace.

Salaries in the patent office are
"scandalous and a disgrace" and in
imical to the operation of an efficient
system. according to testimony given
by Frederick b Fish of Boston. an at
torney of forty years patent expert
ence. representing a special commit
tee of the National Research Council
at hearings today before the House
patent committee on three bills for
reorganization of the patent office.
These bills provide for. first, max

larging the force and increasing sal
aries. and third. establishment of one
patent court of appeals in Washing

PURPOSES of Patent Office.

The patent system of the United
States is the very root OF industrial
and general business prosperity, Mr..
Fish declared, and it has two main
purposes-first. to protect the inventor.
so that he may have proper COM
pensation and incentive for his in
ventive genius; second, to protect the
public against the monopolistic right
granted through patents.
If the patent office is allowed to use
the profit that it is now making. that
is all that will be necessary to in
crease its efficiency by making the
service life work with adequate
payment for experts. Mr.. Fish said
in the United States are so badly treat
ed as the employees of the patent
office" he told the committee. The
examiners are expert men. specially
trained, who have to have extraor-
binary ability and sense Of justice.
Such men in outside work can get the
reward that inevitably comes to those
who perform unusual service, and yet
the limit of salary in the patent office
is $2.700." he pointed out These men
have a tremendous responsibility in
protecting business interests and the
public generally. They must be
thoroughly honest TO Withstand tempt
ing offers which are constantly being
made. and yet they get a meager
salary on which they cannot educate
their sons.
situation Scandalous."
The situation is scandalous," Mr.
Fish said. '25 per cent Of the officials
and examiners in the patent Office
having resigned in the last three years
because they could not make a decent
living"
He gave hearty Endorsement to the
plan for making the patent Office a
distinct government establishment
| saving that now it has no co-ordina-
, ton and intimate relationship with
any department and should not be
hampered by any such bond.
He argued for a patent court Of ap-
! peals in Washington similar to the
Sunreme Court of the United States.
