INVENTOR SCORES
CONDITIONS HERE in
u. .S.PATENT OFFICE
Passage of Nolan = Bill
Soon Vital to Prosperity,
Says Duryea.

That the Nolan bill providing in
creases in salary and forces at the
Patent Office will be called up in
the House for final action today
by Representative Nolan was learn
ed yesterday.
Charles E. Duryea, automobile
manufacturer and inventor. visited
the Capitol to investigate the status
of the bill and the prospect of its
passage. and said he found a large
majority of members of Congress
in its favor. He said conditions
at the Patent ONCE since many of
the better class of employees have
left because of insufficient pay are
such as to demand quick relief,
and that If the bill should be fur
ther delayed in the legislative jam
with which Congress is struggling,
the results would be disastrous for
many people who have business
dealings with the Patent ONCE. He
declared 10000 assignments are
waiting to be recorded and that
under present conditions intermina-
Bile delay cannot be avoided.
Vital to Progress.
This bill is so vital to the prog
ress and prosperity of our land"
said Duryea. that it should be put
through at once. Introduced more
than ar year ago. it has been ap-
proved Iby a great many organiza-
tions and literally thousands OF in
diviENal and manufaGt uring organi-
zatiONs. 1t passed both Houses long
ago and was reported out of con-
ference February 4. II needs only
a few minutes consideration now.
and there should be no further de-
lay. In our business depression we
need all the new business we can
develop. but so badly neglected has
our Patent Office been that it is
far behind with its work and its
best men largely have left to ac-
cept positions where they can get
living wage. with more than
10000 assignments waiting record.
many manufacturers are hesitating
about going ahead with new prof.
ects until they know whether they
own their patents Patent titles
cannot be known until they are on
record.
There has been a 20 per cent in
crease in patent applications since
the war, but the force to handle
these has been depleted both in
number and experience.
Pay for Service Not Given.
The inventors pay for service
they are not getting The courts
are clOgged with suits arising from
faulty patents at much expense to
the owners and the public and much
hindering OF new. business so badly
needed. The work. which REQUIRES
nigh grade men Of judicial ability,
IS being done by temporary appoin-
tees to the detriment of the whole
service.
This bill does not ask for money
from the taxpayers because the Pat
ent OftiCe is and has been for years
more than disappearing. More
than SS,o00,OOO has been collected
by it. more than it has been per
mitted to use. The bills ask only
that Congress appropriate enough
OF the earnings to do the work
properly. 1t is certainly not fair
that men who stand their own losses
should be taxed to support other
departments when they are denied
the service they pay for at the Pat
ent Office"
