RADIO TO PROFIT
ASHOOVER TAKES
HEAD0F PATENTS
Commerce Secretary to Aid
American Manufacturer
in Foreign Fields,
Nv Times Special
WA SH1NGTON

Bv Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 26.--
American radio inventors and manu-
facturers will profit tremendously
by the transfer of the Patent Of
flee from the Interior to the Com
merce Department by an executive
order of the President.
Aside from expediting the issue OF
patents. due to the large number
of applications, of which there are
more than 1000 relating to radio
pending, the chief object of the
transfer was the removal Of pres
emit injustices suffered by American
manufacturers in foreign fields. Sec
rotary Hoover has pledged himself
to vigorously. promote such a cam
paign.
AT the present time. said Sec
rotary Hoover, IAN American citizen
is required in many foreign countries
to continuously manufacture in that
country Under his patent or lose
his patent rights. We make no SUCH
requirement in the United States.
The consequence is that our in
yentors and manufacturers in order
to protect their inventions have been
driven to the establishment OF
large number of factories abroad
whereas foreign patentees have been
able to use their patents in the
United States to actually prevent
manufacture here.
Factions Established Abroad
"A list of many large man
ufacturers established by American
capital abroad in order to protect
their patents could be enumerated
whereas there has been no establish
ment of manufacture in this
country for this reason. In fact, a
foreign patentee, by registering his
patent in the United States, can
hold it for seventeen years and
prevent manufacture Of the article
in the United States.
This is but one OF the discrimina-
lions now in progress. There is to
be an international convention for
the protection OF industrial
property, at the Hague on Oct. O.,
1925. at which the American Gov
eminent is to be represented and
where proposals will be made for
the equitable and equal treatment
fpatentees in all countries, If this
convention shall fail to secure
primary justice for American
patentees, we shall ask for a com
plete revision of the patent laws Of
the United States which will bring
this about
Moreover, other burdens put
upon American patentees in for
eign countries discourage the Amer
lean inventor from registering his
patents and securing the rights
which should naturally come to him
from his invention, while we give
every facility in the United States.
Want Nothing But Equality
I'VE shall propose nothing but
equality in these questions and we
intend to follow up the matter with
utmost vigor.
-Four years ago the Patent Office
was Is months behind in its work
that is, it was Is months after the
receipt Of an application before that
application could be considered.

During the past several weeks we

II IS the writer's opinion that the

is concerned. Many improvements
on standard sets win be made which
