Commissioner Duell of the patent office answers an inquiry from .Mr. Young , Jr. , of Winchester , Iowa , con cerning the course of procedure in ob taining a patent as follows : "One having made an invention in order to obtain a patent therefor must execute and file in the patent office an application for the same , together with $16 , the first government fee. An application consists of a petition setting forth the invention and praying for the grant of the letters patent , a specifica tion describing the invention , specifically claiming the new features , a drawing illustrating the invention , and an oath which must set forth that the invention has not been in public use or on sale or described in any publication for more than two years before the date of the application , and for which no foreign patent has been granted for more than seven months. Upon the receipt of the application it is sent to one of the thirty-six divisions of the patent office , to which , by its nature , it belongs. In due course it is taken up for examination to determine whether it is new and use ful. If found to bo new , an application is allowed the applicant ; he is notified thereof and is given six months in which to pay the final government fee of $20 , and the patent is issued within three weeks after the final fee is paid. If the application is found to lack novelty , a letter is written t the applicant point ing out the objections and referring him to any prior patents or publications which may have a bearing upon the case. A patent , if for a mechanical in vention , is granted for seventeen years ; other patents are granted for three and one-half , seven and fourteen years , the government fee being respectively $10 , $15 and $30. "An applicant for a patent need not employ a patent attorney , but it is pre ferable that he employ one who is familiar with preparing applications , versed in making claims and preparing the proper amendments if necessary , " WILLIAM E.
