The organization of the now court of law
claims at Denver last month nnd the announcement
nouncomont that the court will hold itsflna
session In that city on the 17th of November
live promise thatlu lonz-voxod titles In th
western territories and state will soon bo In
nfulr wav to settlement. The disputed titles
under the Mexican and Spanish grants hnvo
proved especially troublesome In Arizona and
Now Mexico. They uavo delayed settlement
umi investment In some of the fairest lands
of the southwest , and nave proved annoying
in the districts farther to the north. After
much agitation and complaint congress was
induced at the last session tojprovldo n court
for the consideration of this business , and It
vlll soon begin to worn.
The organization of this court gives Tun
BiiKUuunAUopCi.AiMsachanco to extend Its
usefulness. It will take claims under this
law and prosecute them for persons who ao
not know whom to engage for the service.
Tbo business entrusted to the bureau at
Washington Is boltig prosecuted with energy.
The Indian depredations patent , land
mining nnd other claims before the courts
aud departments are being pushed as rapidly
as possible , with no delays on nccunt of the
largo amount of business which has bcon sent
to tbo bureau. The lareo amount of claims
Intrusted to Its carols a standing proof of the
cstoom andlconfldonco in which TUB Bf.r. is

wise a domonstratton. If one was requiredof
the deed of such an organization
The revelations in regard to the Loomls
agency which have been published recently
go uvon further In the same direction. When
a man sought for by the police for nearly a
year on a warrant for embezzlement can setup
up as a claim agent , Hood the western coun
try with circulars and receive assignments
for several million dollar's worth of claims ,
it appears that there 1s little protection for
tbo claimant who sends to an unknown ropro
sontativo. The men who assigned tliolr claim
: o Loomls would have had small ohanco of
their seeing any of their money If that
schamor had boon given tlmo to collect their
claims. When such risks nro run and man
who are not able to go to Washington and
mow no ono there must hlro Hhoir attorneys
at haphazard , tbo nocd for a bureau to pro
tect tno people and do tholr work at reason
able rates Is apparent.
The approval with which THE Ben ontor-

FatuntH and 1'iitcntfl.
Every American carries in his blood a
strain of Inventiveness. When ho snos labor
wasted he begins to puzzle out plans for sav
ing it. When bo strikes an ingenious ma
chine bo sots to calculating how it may bo
improved. Few YanKees have gene through
life without devising some kind of invention ,
although In most cases tbo device may have
gene no further than the mind of the In
ventor.
The patent office at Washington is the out
growth of this national quality , It Is such a
monument of multifarious In onutty as is
not to bo matched In the world. Its stores
of plans and modo.s are heaped up so lav
ishly by the irrepressible genius of the na
tion that the whole establishment might be
burned to the ground every live years , and
tacn now building would bo overflowing in
tlmo for the next tiro.
Plainly , It can bo no light thing to keep all
this mass of business in order. "As dry as a
patent ofllco report" bos become a proverb.
But these reports , extending through hun
dreds of bulky volumes , contain the facts by
whoso light every new application for a
patent must be docldod. Tbo nowon who
*
expects to bo of any assistance Infacilitating
the progress of a new .laea toward govern
ment recognition must know how to tbrcad
their dusty byways and uncover all the old
ideas to which the now comer may boar a
family resemblance
The inventor can hardly over do this.
Even it ho bappons to bo a resident of Wash
ington his familiarity with the details of
patent ofllco procedural s cot likely to bo
sufficient to onaolo him to accomplish any
thing foi himself , nnd If ho lives at a distance
of course ho can do nothing. An attorney is
alwavs required.
But not oven the pensioners have sufforo-
moro from the operations of unscrupulous at
tornbys than the Inventors. The average inventor
vontor is ooor , and not accustomed to the
technicalities of law or business. He
wants a patent , and ho takes that
term at its face value. To him a patent
Is a patent , neither moro nor less. Ho
roads the advertisement of a plausible agent
who promises to got patents In quick tune at
low rates , payable only In case of success.
Ho sends on his application and In duo time
Is gladdened by tbo receipt of an Impressive
document , garlshod with gilt seals and blue
ribbons and announcing itself to bo a patont.
And so Itt , bjt when the owner uuuer-
takes to put his invention on the
market ho finds that ho has nothing
to soil. The attorney has saved him
self trouble by putting in a claim covering
only ttomo one trivial point and the patent
granted on that point is worthless as a pro
tection to the essential features of the Inven
tion. An honest and capable attorney would
have made his claim as broad aa possible ; ho
would have argued every paint with the
examiners , and when ho finally obtained a
patent it would have been as valuable as the
merits of the invention would permit.
Tin : BEE Bureau of Claims Is not afraid of
trouble. Contrary to Ha custom in land ,
Indian depredation and pension rasas it does
not takn patuut cases on continent fees , and
no olhor re out a bio patent attorneys do.
When an application Is intrusted to It , It
gives the subject careful and lutolllcontstudy ,
and then files an Itemized claim covering
as many points as can possibly bo
found in tbo Invention. It argues us many
of those as may bo denlod and in tbo on a it
secures a-pa tent compiobonsivo enough to
hold Its own In the courts and In the money
nurkat.
If any Inventor should be Inclined to ques
tion tlio linportunccjof broad claims in npply >
ing for patents , bo may profitably consider
the methods by which Alexander Graham
Bell has boon raised within the past , llfteer
years from poverty to a place in tbo liuancla
world alongside 'of Jay Uould and Hussel
Sago.

To the Inventor the all-Important question
presents Itself ! "How can 1 secure a
atentl" and to this THE BEE BUIICAU offers
ho following explanation :
Inventors as n class nro not familiar with
ho laws under which the letters patent are
granted , the forms and practice In the
talent ofllco at Washington , and the
cchnlcnl methods of preparing specifications
inn claim ] so ns to properly protect tholr In-
ontioiiR against infrlngers , yet the value of
ho patent and even its validity depend
urgcly upon the careful and export pro-
i.iratlon of the caso. Specifications must bo
lriuvnto _ fully disclose the invention , to ills-
.lugulsh between what is now nnd what Is
> ld. The employment of counsel skilled in
latent law is therefore usually a prerequi
site to the proper prosocutlon of a case and a
grant of a valuable patent.
Many Inventors suffer the loss of benefits
bat should bo dorlvod from valuable invon-
lens owing to insufllciont protection by
Kitents procured through Incompetent or
careless agents.
I'or AVImt (1 ranted.
Under the laws of the United States lot-
: crs patent are granted to tiny person who
ins invented or discovered any new and use
ful art machine , manufacture or composition
of matter , or nas invented any now or useful
"mprovomcnt thereon.
Term oT Patent.
A patent Is granted for seventeen years ,
during which time the owner has solo and
exclusive right to make , use nnd sell tbo
inlcntcd Invention.
How to I'riicerd.
For economic reasons , before making an
iltcation to the patent ofllco for a patent , the
novelty aud patentability of tbo Invention
should bo ascertained , because , if the inven
tion U not now or not patcutablc , un unneces
sary expense is incurred by filing an up-
illcatlon un which a patent can never be
granted.
The first thing to bo done Is to Und out
wbothor or not the Invention Is now and
patontablo.
For advice on this point It Is necessary to
send to Tun But ? Bureau a rough or complete
sketch or a photograph of the invention , to
gether with a brief description thereof , sot-
: iu ? forth the object of tha improvements ,
: bo arrangement of the parts and the ad
vantages attained. Whllo n model Is very
seldom necessary , yet it Is olten of great as
sistance. The latter call ba made of any
cheap material , and will bo returned if a re
quest Is made to that effect , '
Upon receipt of the data mentioned sufll-
clent to enable the Invention to bo under
stood , our counsel will at once examine there-
liHo , and will advlso without charco what is
the best course to pursue , and will express
an opinion , from tholr Unpwlbdgo of the arts
and patents alreadv granted , as to the pat
entability of the Invention' .
Special Search.
In this connection it is recommended that
the Dost aud safest coursu'ls to have a special
search made In the patent office to ascertain
whether or not the invention has boon here
tofore patented. Tbo advantage of such a
search is that if no anticipating patent
is discovered the application can bo
filed with a greater detrroo of certainty ,
wbnreas If the In volition is found to bo old
all further expense is tiVoldcd. Tbo cost of
a search of this nature is > , and with the
report of the result thereof the Inventor
will bo furnished wUh copies of such patents ,
if any. as embrace his ideas. It is much bet
ter to have this search made In the outsat
before incurring any expense whstevor re
garding the application for patent.
If ills fouud that the Invention is now and
patentablo the client is advised to proceed
with the filing of an application for patent ,
and will then be requested to remit $15 to
cover the first government fco and $5 In pay
ment of cost of drawing , when ono Is neces
sary. As soon as possible after tbo
receipt of this remittance the speci
fication of tie invention will bo
carefully prepared and forwarded to
the inventor , together with forms for appli
cation for patent ready for execution. Upon
return of the latter the case will no promptly
filed In the patent ofllco , aud notice will bn
sent when action Is had thcraon , aad also of
tbo nature of such action.
Tlmo Iteqnlrecl.
The examining corps of the patent office is
composed of thirty-two divisions , among
which tbo applications are divided according
to the official classification. The condition
of the work In thcso various divisions varies
from ono to 11 vo mouths in arrears. Hence
no specific time can bo stated for the pend
ency of all cases. After an application for
patent Is granted six months are allowed In
which to pay the final government fee , $20.
About three weeks after the payment of this
final fee tha patent will Isauo and bo mailed
to the inventor.
The liurcnu Charges.
Consistent with the spirit in which this
Bureau was formed , it is proposed to do the
work ns near tbo actual cost as will lirotect
the business from loss. Although counsel
are retained at heavy expense to the Bureau ,
yet it is tbo wish to charge In ordinary cases
only the minimum fco ot * i'i. However , In
cas'cs requiring extra care , time and labor ,
the fco will bo proportionately increased ,
but clients will nlwujs bo advised in advance -
vance should such increase of fee bo fouud
necessary.
Design I'lltrntM.
A patent for a design Is granted to any
person who has Invented , or nroauced anv
now aad original design for tbo printing of
woolen , silk , cotton or other fabrics ; any
now and original Impression , ornament , pattern -
torn , print or picture to DO printed , painted ,
cast or otherwise placed on or worked Into
any article of manufacture ; or any new ,
useful and original shape or configuration of
any article of manufacture , the same not
having boon known or used by others before
bis invention or production thereof , or
patented or described In any printed publica
tion. Patents for designs are granted for
the term of three and g v-halt years , the
government fee beinji $10 ; or for seven years ,
the fco being $15 ; or for Jpurtoon years , the
fee being $3J. ( Tno charge of the Bureau m
such cases Is usually S'J.'i.r"
Iteissi'iei'.1
A patent can bo reissued whenever the
same is inoperative or invalid by reason of a
defective or Insufficient.specification , or by
reason of the patentee uluimlng moro than
ba had a right to claim fii 'now , provided the
error has risen by accidAr.t.'niistako or Inad
vertence. , or without fraudulent Intent. The

By moans of a caveat an Inventor secures
record evidence regarding his invention for
the purpose of enabling him to complete or
further experiment therewith , The Ufa of a
caveat In ono year , aud it may bo renewed at
the end of that tiino. The government fco is
IIU and the bureau charge is $10.
Trade MurkH.
A trade mark is a fanciful or arbitrary do-
Tico or symbol used to distinguish U > a roods
of A particular manufacture. The owner of
every trade mark is entitled to resistor the
lame , no matter how long It has bcon in uio.
The life of tno certificate of registration Is
hlrty years and m. y bo rouowod for a llko
[ xjrlod. The government fee , pavablo on
Ulnff each application for registration of
trade mark , Is fc3. ! The Bureau's charge
U $35.
I.nhels.
Labels ot all kinds , designed to bo attached
10 manufactured articles or to bottles , boxes ,
etc. , containing thorn , have heretofore bcon
received for registration nt the patent offieo
nnd a certificate Issued accordingly. Under
a very recent decision of the supreme court
of the United States It Is hold that there Is
no authority In law for granting cortltlcatos
of registration of labels which simply desig
nate or acscrlbo the articles to which they
arc attached , and which have no value sepa
rated therefrom. A label to bo entitled to
registration must have by Itself some value
as a composition , at least as serving some
purpose ether than as a moro designation
or advertisement. Many now holding cer
tificates of registration of labels are totally
without any protection whatever. Many regis
tered labels comprise subject matter registor-
able as trade marks. Wbercycr this Is so , or
where by a slight change It can bo made to
cotno within the purview of the laws govern
ing trade marks , registration should ba
soucht under this head. The government
fco In a label case is $0 , nnd the Bureau
charge is $2T > .
Copyrights
can bo had for books , maps , engravings ,
photographs , paintings , pictures , etc. The
total cost thereof Is nbont W , Including all
fees. When the author or publisher of n
book wishes to copyright thosamo ho should ,
bsforo publication , scud us a copy of the title
page , or inform us as to what tbo same con
tains. Wo will then procure the necessary
protection. Within ton days after publica
tion two copies of the best edition should bo
forwarded tons or direct to the librarian of
congress. Failure to do this renders the
copyright void , nnd a penalty of $35 Is In
curred ,
Interference * ,
An Intcrforonco is n judicial proceeding In
stituted under the direction of the commis
sioner of patents to enable him to dotcrmlno
the question of priority of Invention between
rival claimants. Tnc Bin BUIIRAU , recog
nizing the fact that extraordinary care nnd
iltill uro requisite on the part of an attorney
In charge ot a case In interference , has at its
command counsel prepared to conduct such
proceedings from the very inception down tea
a final determination of tha merits of the
cause. Testimony will also bo taken under
our direction In any part of the United
States. While no specific sum can ho sot
down as applicable to nil interference cases
ahko. yet the charge will always bo as reasonable
sonablo as possible.
liirrlnRnniciits.
The question whether or not ono patent
Infringes another is tbo very soul of all
patont. litigation. The questions involved
are many , nnd of the most intricate nature.
It Is always a matter of such great import
ance that no ono should over claim that an
other is Infringing on his rights , or , likewise ,
no attention should bo paid to tbo claims of
Infringement by others , until the questions
Involved are carefully passed upon by reli
able counsel. For such services the cbargos
are always fair and reason able.
I'orelu'n Patents.
In addition to the Bureau's facilities for
attending to tbo interests of its Inventor-
patrons before tbo United States patent office
and courts , It is also enabled to procure
patents for inventions in all countries of the
world. In , many of the foreign countries ,
notably Canada , England and Germany ,
patents for Inventions previously patented In
this country are looked upon with great
favor and inventors are there very frequently
moro likely to roalbo profits from their in
ventions than they are oven in tlls country.
The cost of foreign patents varies with differ
ent ettses , but as a general rule the expense
of procuring patents , covprlni ; all charges , is
about as follows :
Canada , ? 50 ; England , ? 90 ; Germany , $90 ;
Franco , $35 ; Spain , JK ! ) ; Belgium , ? 00. Ad
ditional information regarding the cost , etc. ,
in any foreign country will ba furnished by
letter on application.
Important Warning.
It seems remarkable that in this enlight
ened upo It becomes the duty of overv reli
able and trustwortny attorney In patent mat
ters to advise bis clients to beware of the
many sharks who sot out with the apparent
Intention of dofraudincr inventors immedi
ately after the issue of their patents. When
a patent appears in the Patent Official Gazette -
zetto patentees are beset with Innumerable
offers , solicitations , requests , etc. , some nro-
tandlng to want to purchase their patents ,
while others offer to take an interest , therein
under promlso of procuring foreign patents
The solo object of thcso people is to ootaln
money from inventors , aad they never maito
the slightest onaeuvor to carry out tboir
groundless and \\ortbluss promises.
Ono of the schemes often rosortoa to by
tboso sharks is to invite patentees to join a
llctitious association , under the pretext that
by paying the membership fee tbo patented
invention will bo widely published in a paper
which does not oxlst , and that a salcsmnn
will travel over the country until the solo ot
the patent is effected , and this , it Is needless
to add , is never accomplished.

Tun Br.r lUinnxu OK CI.UMS , In dealing
with tbo claims arising under the Inninn
depredations act , has boon sticcessiut in pro
tecting n largo numl/or of subscribers nnd
others from extortion nnd loss. From com
plaints that have coma to It , botvovor , It ap
pears thtit manv of tha clatiiituits do not tin
durstand tholr position under the act. At a
tlmo when there appeared to bo llttlo chance
that congress would take up tbo claims or
make any appropriation to pav them , they
signed contracts with the Washington agents ,
promising from ono-nuartor to one-half the
amount to the agent In case the monav should
bo collected. In view of this axtortiou con *
grans inserted a provision In the net annul-
ing all contracts and limiting the ngont's
commission to 1C or 'JO par cent.
The claimants all probably understand that
the agent's commission has bcon limited by
the law , but many of them , according to their
own statements , ( In not understand tkat they
are free to do as they please about employing
the agout they had first chosen. They con
sluorthat I hey are still bounii to employ the
agent with whom they signed the exorbitant
conti acts whether they are satisfied with
him or not.
It was the Ituontion of congress to protect
thorn at all points nud they were loft on the
passaga of the act free to do as they uluasod
nnd employ whom tho.v ploasod. Section 0 of
the act tatod : "That all sales , transfers or
assignments of any sued claims heretofore or
hereafter made , except such ns hnvo occurred
In the duo administration of decedents' os
tatcs , and all contracts horntoforo made for
fees and allowances to claimants' attorneys
nrohoroby declared void.
There could bo no mlstalco about the moan-
Ingot this. All claimants had to make now
contracts with agents after the passaga of
the act , and they were at liberty to omplov
any ono they ploasod. If they were pleased
with the zeal and acti of tholr Ilm aont
thov might malco their now contract with
him. If they were dlisatlsod they -might
cheese any ether agent that they ploasod.
These who have not signed new contracts
slncotho passage of tha act mav prollt by
this to secure much better terms than thov
could otherwise got from tbo agents. Tbo
fact that Tin : HKI : Bt'itr.vu Is doing the work
for the bare expense Involved has bad a good
effect In moderating the charges of all agents
to these who Itnow how to protect them
selves. For tboso who distrust tholr ability
to cope with the claim agents on tholr own
ground TUB BEE BUIIKAU Is always open.
