Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Patent Laws, 1851 Gentlemen, I have, at your request, inquired into the state of the Law of Patents in this country, and I now beg to lay before you the result of that inquiry. My attention was particularly directed by you, "to the expense and delay of obtaining a patent; and to the legislative measures which would be necessary to lessen that expense and delay, and at the same time to afford greater security to inventors." I have examined into the British law upon the subject, as compared with the law of other countries; and the suggestions which I have ventured to make, are the result of a comparison of the relative merit of those systems, guided by the opinions pronounced upon them by those who have had practical experience of their working. I propose to consider then, 1st. What is the expense and what is the delay of obtaining a patent, and what occasions such expense and delay? 2nd. What are the rights conferred upon a patentee by the grant of a patent under British law? 3rd. What are the defects in the present system of patent laws? 4th. What are the best changes in the law which can be suggested? Before entering upon these inquiries, I shall make a few preliminary observations on the nature of patents, and the principles on which they are based; as these principles ought to guide us in legislating on the subject. A patent is a species of monopoly, sanctioned by the law for wise purposes and within certain limits; and is, with respect to inventions, what copyright is to books. When any man has made a useful invention in the arts, or has put his thoughts into writing, it is perfectly at his option whether he will ever disclose the invention, or publish the book; there is no law to compel him so to do; he may die without imparting the discovery, or he may put his manuscript into the fire.
