INVENTORS HARD
HIT BY GERMAN
LAW ON PATENTS
Employing Firm Gets Not
Credit, but All
Money.
BIZ limited PfeSS

BIZ UHtted Press
BERLIN, April "a multitude
of German inventors are struggling
for moral recognition. They demand
that German patent laws should
emulate the American principle of
granting q patent only to the in
ventor himself under his name.
AS 1t is, German inventors who
are employed by firms are nobodies.
No matter how important their in
vention may be for the good of the
whole country, their names remain a
secret. They are not even recorded
in the patent bureau. There are no
Joseph Schmidt bulbs or Franz
Schulz boilers in Germany. The
credit for an invention, both flnan-
c1ally and morally, goes to the firm.
In Germany, inventions and i'm
provements are registered under the
name of the firm with whom the in
ventor is employed. The German
patent law does not recognize the
inventor, but the person who sub
rnits the invention for registration.
Use Advantage
Big industrial firms are trying to
make the most of this advantage.
Before employing a man in their
planning department they make him
sign a document in which he forfeits
all his right on any improvement, in

clause providing that the employee
.forego all claims for compensation
and cede his invention to the firm
for any use it wants to make there
Of"
Firms are known to have pre-
ferred lawsuits to obtain titles for
Inventions made by their employees
in spare time, and in fields which
had nothing to do with their work
for the firm. In many, if not in
most cases, the firms have won.
Thus an odd situation exists. A
German invention might be we'll
known in the United States under
the inventors name, because there
his firm annot obtain a patent with
out divulging his name, while in his
home town in Germany the inventor
will remain in an anonymous
drudge.
No Benefit by Law.
Financially, the German inventor
does not benefit by this provision of
the United States patent law. In
most cases he is forced by his firm
to sign the so-called dollar-contract;
that is to cede his rights to the ex-
ploitation of the American patent to
his firm for a nominal 81. But he
gets at least some sort Of satisfac-
ton, while according to the German
law. he obtains none~whatever.
ThiS satisfaction, however, is just
what the advocates of revision of
the German patent law claim to be
seeking. The union Of technicians
and prominent sociologists has sub
l1nitted to the Department of Labor

ICE CREAM is

"It is real tribute to the wisdom

Some of the city's healthiest boys

KENTLAND, Ind, Sept. 13.-New-

bending their energies toward solu-
ton of the mystery in the death OF
Coppie Anderson, 81, whose mutt
lated body was found in a hog lot at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and

Two dogs belonging to the Ander-

as several hogs attempted to reach
it, when Will Confer, a relative,
came upon the tragic scene. Three
of the swine had been killed by the
dogs.
Relatives declare they are unable
to account for Anderson's death. He
was powerful man physically and
little support is given a theory that
he was overcoming attack by the
hogs. A theory of suicide has also
been advanced, but the family de-
clares no reason existed for such an
act. Belief that he was murdered
and the body thrown into the hog
lot is also expressed.
Anderson was divorced, his for
