Few men will spend years of en-
deaNor developing new idea unless
there is some hope of financial re-
ward, Capitalists will not invest in
new idea unless they see that they
have at least d limited monopoly in

1T is also a significant fact that
those countries with the best patent
systems are the, most successful in

that practically all of the great in
Nentions made in the last 100 years
have been protected by patents. in
dicating that the inventors made the
inventions with the idea of financial
reward
In considering procedure there
are three different questions; first,
what to invent; second, how to pro-
tect the invention; and third how to
dispose of it. AS to what to invent
there is no formula. 1t depends
upon the particular individual, his
capabilities and his lines of en-
dearor. A man should stick to his
last. 1t is singular fact that many
so-called inventors delve into lines
with which they are not familiar.
This leads to useless waste of en-
ergy and money.
thiny TO be patentahlc must
be: first, invented, as distinguished
from requiring mere mechanical
skill, second. it must be useful;
third, it must be,a process, machine,

INVENTIVE GENIUS
BLOOMS IN Conn.
State Leads Nation in Number Of
Patents Issued


More patents are issued in Con-
nectlcut every year than in any
other state in the nation. il WAS
stated during a talk given last eve
ing at the Burritt hotel bv T. C..
Lindsey,a patent attorney before the
members of the Exchange Club.
Mr. Lindsey's talk in part was as
follows:
The subject of patents is such a
latEe one and has so many ramifi-
cations that il Is impossible, TO eX-
plain the entire matter in a short
time. The constitution provides
that Congress shall have the power
to promote the progress of science
and the useful arts by securing. for
limited time TO investors exclusive
rights to their respective discover
les. 1t will be noted that this con-
etitnt,onal provision is not be re-
ward investors but to promote the
progress of science. The reward to
the inventors is merely a means to
the desired end
'Iou will find many TRADES
against the patent system, many ar
guing that to give monopoly under
a patent raises the price of commo-
dities to the consumer. It is also
said that the patent system entails
large and needless expense and that
the man of limited means cannot
obtain the protection TO which he
Is entitled
The fact remains. however, that
our patent system has, to very
large extent. PLAYED an important
part in our Industrial DEVELOPMENT
and that the hope of reward to the
inventor has been the cause. of
starting many of our large indus
tries. 1t is estimated that so per
cent Of the industrial concerns in
this country base their initial sue
cess upon patents.
