OFFICE oF THK Mintne anp Screntivte Press—No. 505 Clay strect, cnrucr ot Sarsome, Sun Francisco. Information for Inventors! Inventors on this coast haring their applications for patents mate ou through our Agency can sign their papers at once, and thus secure their rights ut least three mouths sooner than by trusting te sani fo distant agencics, situated ta New York or Washington. The Patent Law Amendment Act, of March ith, 1861, and March 3d, IS63, now In force, Introduccs several important changes in our Patent Systein. The ycucral practice of the Puteut Office, however, in regard to the examination and issne of Letters Palent for new inventions, remains nearly ohne as heretotore. 5 The amendment of 3d March, 1863, provides, in section 3, that every patent stall be duted asat'aday not lnter than . six mantis atter ihe tine at which it wis passed aud allowei, and notice thereof sent to the applicant or his avcnt, And tt the final fee tor such pateut he not paid within the said six months, the patent shall be witheld, aud the invention therein described shall became public property ag against the applicant tlieretor: Proatded, That 1 ere patculs haye becu allowed previous to the passage of et, the said six mouths shall be reckoned troin the date af sneh passare. The first quest veéntor, wlio di ui, therefore, that presents Itselt'to the inires to procure a patent, is: "Cnn lobtain a pee @ A positive answer to tis question is only to be had y nresenting a formal applicatian fora pateut to the Goverumentembracing a petition, specification, model, duplicaic, drawligs, and the payment of the prescribed otticial tees.

Remember that all business cominitted to our care, and all pe elie are kept by us sceret, aud strictly confidenjal. Caveats. A Caveat Is a confidential communicatlon made tn the Patent Office, and Is thercfare filed within its seerct archives. The privilege secured under a caveat Is, that it entitles the eavealor to reccive notice, for a period of ane year, of an, application for a patent subsequently fled, and which is adjudged to bo novel, and is likely to interfere with the invention described im thie cavent, and the cuvpator is then required to compilcte lis applicntiontor n patent within three months trom tho date of said notice. Cuveat papers should be very eer propa ed Our fee for the service varies from $10 to $20. The Government Ice under the new law is reduced to ten dollars: and this sum docs not apply, as heretofore, as part of the Tee on presenting an application fora patent. . Inventors will ofttimes find It very hnpovtant to take advantare of the caveat system—tho expense wider the law being coinparatively small. To enable us to prepare caveat paper, wo only require a sketch and description of the invention; uo model bolng neeessary. Expense of Applying for a Patent, Rejections, ate. Under the new law, the Sovernment fee, on filling an npplication for a patent, Is fifteen dollars ; and It the patent is allowed, twenty dollars additional is reqnired. 1f rejected, the first fec of fifteen dollars is all that is demanded. EnzJish, French, Austrian, Prussian Spanish, and inventors of every nationality, may now obtain patents in the United States upon the saine tcrins as our own citlzens. The only discrimination made is agalnst subjects of government that discriminate against the inhabitants of the Unitcd States. To the foregoniy official fecs must he added the Attoruey’s fees for preparlug the various dociiments and drawings. Our charge for preparing a case, presenting Itto the Cov ernment, and attending to all business connected with lt, until a decision is given, istrom $20 to $10. It the patent is grantted no further agency expenses ensues. If the appllCatlon is reiected we s ealsethorough investigation to be mado Into the reasons presented to the Commissioucr tor refusing the patent. In muking this examination, we hava exeess to nll the drawings, models, books and specifications cited 1u reference, and we report the result as early as possible to our client. . If the rejection proves to be an unjust one—which sometimes happens—it can generally be reversed, and the patent obtained by contestiug theese. For this prosecution we charge a tee proportionato to the extra labor involved, payable only on the Issne ofthe patent; but our demand will be reasonable and satisfactory to our clionts, and will bo nr ranged heforchaud by special asreement. = The systein adopted by us works well, elves general satisfaction nud presents to all apyilicants, rich or poor, an ¢qual Saree ALY, of having thelr patet cases prepared, coudueted and prosecuted In the best manner, by expericuced attorncy's, upon the most modernte terms. Inventors who have rejected cascs, prepared either by themselves, or tor thein by other agents, and desire to ascertain thelr pros-, pects ot snecess by further efforts, are invitcd to avail themselves of our imegualied tacilities In sccuring favorable results.
