 That section nine would empower the federal trade commission to assign patents of governments employed in- vontors to individuals or corporations for development and exploitation was voiced chiefly by representatives of manufacturing interests. They said it would add 10 the already undesirable condition of too much government in business"
 pr. F. G. Cottrell former chief of the bureau of mines. in supporting sec ton nine. said many valuable inven- lions of government employees were lost to industry because none would spend money developing them so long as no exclusive rights could be ob- tained to the patents now public prop crty
 P. q. Curtis of the department of justice said that to get around the situation. government departments had been assigning licenses to patents on inventions of government employees without sufficient legal power to pro- tect their actions.
 Government patent affairs. he said, were in a chaotic condition with agencies and bureaus in each depart ment functioning separately"
 Former Patent Commissioner Thomas Ewing, declared he was inter- ested in the bill because of it's provi- sion that would stop advertising pat ent attorneys from unfair practices in applying for patents that had nc value for clients who some times mort gage their homes to pay attorney:
