Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Inventor's Manual: A Circular of Practical Information Concerning Patents, Trade-Marks, Labels and Copyrights
Among no other people has the inventive genius been so 'widely manifested as among the citizens of the United States, and it is, therefore, peculiarly fitting that our Patent Laws should be, as they are, based on broad and liberal principles, securing to the inventor absolute protection against those who would surreptitiously avail themselves of the fruits of his original concep tions, wrought out, perhaps, by long and weary toil and research, while at the same time the cost of such an invaluable safeguard is placed within the means of all. It has ever been the policy of our Government to en courage invention, and the result of this policy may be seen in the long array of grand discoveries in art, sci ence and mechanics, which have conferred honor upon the American name.
