Orricr oF 1HX Mintne ann ScieNTIFIC Press—No. 605 Clay Street, corner of Sansome, San Franelszo. Information for Inventors! Inventors on this coast having their applications for patents made out through our Agency can sign their papers at once, and thus secure their rights at least three months sooner than by trusting the same to distant agencies, situated in Naw York or Washington, The Patent Law Amendment Act, of March 4th, 1861, and March 3d, 1263, now in foree, introduees several important ehanges in our Patent System. The genernl practice of the Patent Office, however, in regard to the examination and Issue of Letters Patentfor new inveutious, remuing nearly the same as heretofore. The amendinent of 34 March, 1863, provides, in sectlon 3. that cvery patent shallbe dated as ota day not later than slx months after lhe tline at whieh it was passed und allowed, and netice thereol sentto the applicant or his agent, And If the final fee for such patent be not paid within ihe sald slx mouths, the patent shallbe witheld, and the invention thereiu deseribed shall becoine publie preperty as agalnst the appiicant therefor: Pronided, That in atl eases where patents have been allowed previous to the passage of this act, the said slx mionths shall be reckoned froin the date of such passare. The first question, therefore, that presents itself to the inventor, who desires to procure a pnient, is: “Can lobtaln a pulent ® A positive auswer to this qnestion Is only to be had y presenting a formal application for a patent to the Governmentembracing 2 petition, specification, model, duplicate, drawings, and the payment of the prescrited offieial tees.

A Caveat is a confidential communieatlon made to the Pateut Office, and is therefore filed within its seeret arehlves. The privilege secured under a earent Is, that it entitles the eaventor lo receive notice, for a perlud of one year, of an, npplieation for a patent subseqnently filed, and which is adjndged to be novel, and is likcly to interfere with the InYeutlon described in the cavent, and tbe caveator is then required to conplete his application for 4 patent within three montlis from the date of said notice. Caveat papers should he very pe apreDur cds Our fee for the service vnries from $10 to $20. The Goyerment fee under the new lu is reduced to ten doliurs; and thissum dees not apply, as heretufore, as part ot the fee on presenting an appleation for a patent. Inventors will ofttimes find It very Important to take advantage of the caveat system—the expense nider the’ law being comparatively smal! To enable us to prepare caveat paper, we only require a sketch and deseription of the invention; no model being necessary, Expense of Applying for a Patent, Rejections, ete. Under the new law, the Government fee, on fillng an application lor x patent, Is fifteen dollars ; aud if tlie patent ts allowed, twenty dollars additional Ilsrequired. If rejected, the first fee of fifteen dollars ls all that is demanded. Englsh, Freneh, Austrian, Prugslan Spanish, and inventors of every nationality, nay now obtain patents in the United States upon tbe saine terms as our own citizens. The only discrimination mado Is agalnst subjectsof government that diserimInate against the Inbabltants of the United States. To the toregoing offielal tees inust be added the Attorney's fees for preparing the various doeumneuts and drawlnys.

In making this examination, we haya exeess to all the drawings, modcls, books and specifications elted In reference, and we report the result as eurly as poseihle to our elient. If the rejection proves to be an unjnst one—which sometlmes happens—it ean generally be reversed, and the patent obtalned by contesting the ease. For this proseeution we charge a fee proportionate to the extra Inbor involved, payable only on the issue of tho patent; but our demand will be reasonable and satisfactory to our elients, and will be arranved beforchand hy speclal agreement. The systein adopted by us works well, fives general satis. faction and presents to all applicants, rich or poor, an equal eapertaniy of hnving their patent eases prepared, condueted and presecuted In the best manner, by experleneed attorney’s, npon the most nioderate terms.
