Book Description

Excerpt from Analytical Summaries of the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks' Act, 1883: And of the Patent Laws of All Foreign Countries and British Colonies The aim of the following pages is to furnish, in a form convenient for reference, a comprehensive analytical summary, not only of the new Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks' Act, but also of the patent laws of all foreign countries and colonies where patents or exclusive privileges are obtainable. In the preparation of these summaries the object in view has been principally to supply information respecting such of the provisions of the various laws as affect the validity and duration of patents granted thereunder, as it cannot be doubted that the conditions which govern the obtainment and continuance of valid patents are of the highest importance both to patentees and purchasers of patents. To the summaries of the foreign and colonial laws, some particulars of the manufacturing industries of the respective countries have been added, which, although necessarily brief, may be found useful to intending patentees.
