EFFTENCY OF PATIENT
 OFFICE TO BE IMPROVED

A bill recently passed by the House and Senate and approved by the President February IS, 1922, Is of interest and importance to inventors and manufacturers having business before the U. S. Patent Office.
 In explaining the effect of the bill. Patent Attorney c. M. Newman of this city states that in his judgment the measure is very desirable. as owing to the depletion of the force in the Patent Office during the war. and ther eSultant shortage of so many of their experienced examiners, and the increase of business before the Patent Office since the war, the Patent Office was getting farther behind with its work each month, resulting in delays of actions on pending applications, and in the issuance of patents, both of which in @ great many instances entees. In Hhe promotion and mar keting of their inventions
 This bill becomes effective April IS, 1922, and will ultimately mean that application for patents filed by inventors will receive Cuicker and more thorough attention and that the patents win be issued in a shorter length of time and probably be much broader in scope.
 The bill provides first of all for an increase in the salaries of the large corps of officials in the Patent Office from the Commissioners of Patents down to and including the copyists, messengers, etc. This increase of pay will serve as an inducement whereby the office will be able to retain their high class technical men and like wise serves as a further inducement to draw to the Patent Office other ed ucated men who will be especially fitted for the special work in the Patent Office.
 This increased pay has been neces- sary and advocated for long while, not alone by the Commissioners of Patents in their annual reports to Congress, but by the large corps of Patent Attorneys practicing before the office as we'll as many of the more active inventors.
 The bill further provides for slight increase ir the original filing fee for filing patent applications from $15 to $20, making the total cost of government fees for the issuance of a patent $40 instead of $35, It is believed that the attorneys fees will remain the same so that the total cost of a patent to an inventor will be increased only $5. which it is will be justified by the quicker and better service that the Patetn Office Swill be able to render.
