Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Patent Law and Its Administration as Aids to Monopoly: A Frank Criticism of the Methods and Practices of Our Federal Courts, and Their Deadening Influence Upon the Spirit of Independent and Progressive Invention
To a possible objection on the part of some readers that the writer has-not in all instances given the names of the cases, the courts and the judges referred to, a reminder of the power of federal courts and judges to summarily deal with those who criticize their con duct or attempt to expose their wrong-doing, by the in?iction of penalties as for contempts or by disbar ment, as set forth in the pamphlet, must be a suf ficient answer.
The Constitution of the United States provides (art. 1, Sec. 8) that Congress shall have power: To promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.
In accordance with this authority, Congress has from time to time, beginning m 1789, passed various laws setting forth the necessary steps to be taken by inventors to secure protection for their inventions, and the restraint of and damages for the infringement of their rights. The formal document which the government issues to an inventor for the protection of his invention is called letters-patent, or, by common speech, a Patent.
