  • A Summary of the Law of Patents for Useful Inventions
    SUMMARY OF THE a + —\ AW OF r ATf J y fTT^ FOR Useful Inventions WITH FORMS BY WILLIAM EDGAR SIMONDS. NEW YORK : L. K. STROUSE & CO., 95 Nassau St., 1883. Copyright 1883, By William Edgar Simonds. PREFATORY NOTE. In A. D. 1874, I published a Manual of Patent Law, smaller even than the present volume and in- tended mainly for unprofessional readers. The edition being exhausted — largely by sale to the pro- fession — and the patent law having had' important additions made to it, by the action of the courts, I have rewritten the whole into a substantially new book, intending to make it more useful to lawyers than the former one, without, I trust, making the greater part less useful to unprofessional readers. W. E. S. August, 1883. — CHAPTER I. HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE PATENT LAW. " I ^ HE patent law of these United States is, in some * sort, the offspring of the pre-existing system of Great Britain, which arose, not from positive enactment, but from a negative provision in a statute passed during the reign of James I, A. D. 1624,, curtailing the power of the Crown to grant monopolies, but excepting " Letters Patent and grants of privilege for a term of twenty-one years or under, heretofore made, of the sole working or making of any manner of new manufacture, within this realm, to the first and true inventor or inventors of such manufacture," etc. ' Although the patent laws of these two countries, stat- utory and constructive, are not identical in all respects notably in the fact that the British courts construe an introducer, as well as an originator, to be an inventor they are in many points, the same : in the earlier years of the republic the English cases were freely cited in our courts, and such citation, both to and by our courts, is still practiced to some extent ; but the mass of American patent litigation is so large in later years that there is little occasion to go to English courts for precedents.

    898 WILSON v. RAILWAY CO. difficult, and makes larger demands upon the ready learning and mental resources, of the profession, than that which has come into vogue in the American courts, where the counsel sometimes pre- pares a brief of fifty or more closely printed pages, and feels bound to read, if not to discuss, the whole extent of it before the court. Under such circumstances he feels himself almost unfairly treated if the court interrupt him by impertinent questions, and he naturally supposes that they are becoming impatient. The court have no alternative but to sit quietly, and endeavor to keep up the appearance of listening. The arguments before the Law Lords, on appeals to the House of Lords, are more formal, and less conversational, than in most of the other English courts. But there is one practice at the English bar which tends very much to increase the interest of law arguments-the same counsel very seldom reargue a cause, either in the same or an appellate court. I.
