Excerpt from Patent Laws and Practice of Obtaining Letters Patent for Invention: In the United States and Foreign Countries, Including Copy-Right and Trademark Laws The compiler of the following pages lays no claim to the authorship of an original work upon the law of patents. Entertaining the opinion that the speculations even of the most learned are of but little importance to those who are seeking to know simply what the law is, and actuated by a desire to render the work strictly authoritative and practical, he has adopted, almost exclusively, the conclusions of those whose opinions have been dignified with the mantle of official authority. The work is the result of an endeavor to compile from various sources, some of which are not easily accessible, reliable and practical information, which the author has found to be indispensable in the course of his own professional practice, and which he believes will be useful to others. Although intended to convey practical information to inventors, patentees, manufacturers, and other who have occasion to inform themselves particularly concerning patent matters, it is believed that the work will be found useful to members of the legal profession generally, since it sets forth the state of the law resulting from decisions more recent than those of any other work published up to the present time, and contains the exact text of the late act of Congress, by which the entire legislation in respect to patents and copy.
