Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On Property in Designs and Inventions in the Arts and Manufactures
The following pages may be regarded as introductory to my Law and Practice of Letters Patent for Inventions and subject-matter of Letters Patent for Inventions and Registration of Designs, and to my Reports and Notes of Cases on Letters Patent for Inventions - works directed more, to the practical questions which occur in the creation and administration, than to the theory and policy, of such property.
The peculiar difficulty of this branch of jurisprudence, in the words of Judge Story, lies not so much in the general principles as in the minute and subtle distinctions Which occasionally arise in the application of those principles a full apprehension of this branch of jurisprudence can only be acquired from a careful examination of the decided cases and of the precise state of facts adjudicated on; each case becomes, as it were, a special treatise on the principles to which it is referable, and a collection of reports of leading cases, accompanied by a history of the manufacture the subject of the particular invention, is an essential work on this branch of jurisprudence.
