N I UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES SCHOOL OF LAW LIBRARY PRACTICE IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE A TABLE OF CASES CONSTRUING AND DEFINING THE SEVERAL RULES OF PRACTICE AND OF CASES SUBSEQUENTLY CITED BY E. J. STODDARD (Detroit Bar) DETROIT DRAKE LAW BOOK CO. 1907 Copyright 1906 BY E. J. STODDARD PREFACE The compilation of the data from which these annotations were taken was commenced about twenty years ago. All the practice decisions then published were carefully read, their subject matter noted for personal use and found helpful. This work has been con- tinued with the reading of all current cases as issued, till, at the time of going to press, about 3,000 cases have been prepared for this publication. It is thought that the present compact form will be found sufficient in most instances, but for rules that have been frequently construed verbal notes will be desirable. Should this publication, which is believed to be the only one of its class and scope, prove acceptable to the Profession, a new edition of the Rules may be issued, accompanied by full syllabi notes of all decisions construing them, grouped together according to their subject matter. E. J. STODDARD. Detroit, Mich., December, 1906. _-. ■ jr- ?-• ■f^ t^ f^ INTRODUCTION Individual judgment will vary in many instances as to the proper rule under which a given note should be placed. A few remarks may therefore prove useful: Notes relating to Affidavits, not specially provided for, are placed under rule 76. Notes relating to Shifting the Burden of Proof in Interference Cases are placed under rule 116. Notes relating to Public Use Proceedings are placed under rule 126. Rule No. 130 was added after the matter for this work went to press. All notes which should properly be placed under this rule will be found under rule 124, in the interpretation of which the necessity for the rule was developed. Notes relating to New Trials are placed under rules 142 and 144. The publication of the Commissioner's Decisions began in 1869, and has been continued in annual volumes. The Official Gazette has been published in the following manner: from 1872-1882 inclusive, two volumes per annum; 1883, three vol- umes; 1884-1892, inclusive four volumes per annum; 1893 to date, six volumes per annum. Should you desire all the cases construing any one rule or its subject matter, follow down the right hand or fourth column on each page until the number appears. The title opposite on the same line is the case desired. Should you desire to know if any case has been subsequently construed, find your case in its alphabetical position in the first column, then look for the figures immediately below its citations in the Commissioner's Decisions and the Official Gazette columns. These annotations are mostly subsequent discussions of the case. Should you desire the citation on any given title, you will find it on the same line opposite its alphabetical position. Should you desire a citation to the Commissioner's Decisions, having it in the Official Gazette, or, vice versa, having it in the Com- missioner's Decisions, should you desire it in the Official Gazette, this list will accommodate you, as both are given opposite each other, where it is possible.

INFORMATION TO CORRESPONDENTS. 14. The office can not respond to inquiries as to the novel t}' whicii^ in/ormT- of an alleged invention in advance of the filing of an appli- gj^"jj*;'^^ ^°^ ^* cation for a patent, nor to inquiries propounded with a view to ascertaining whether any alleged iinj)rovenients have been patented, and, if so, to whom; nor can it act as an expounder of the patent law, nor as counsellor for individ- uals, except as to questions arising within the office. Of the propriety of making an application for a patent, 47.^48i^l^^'4^|^' the inventor must judge for himself. The office is open to mSieiT open "to him, and its records and models pertaining to all patents ^°^''^'^^°^^- granted may be inspected either by himself or by any at- torney or expert he may call to his aid, and its reports are widely distributed. (See Rule 209.) Further than this the office can render him no assistance until his case comes regularly before it in the manner prescribed b}^ law. A copy of the rules, with this section marked, sent to the individual making an inquiry of the character referred to, is intended as a respectful answer by the office.

ATTORNEYS. 17. An applicant or an assignee of the entire interest Attorneys. may prosecute his own case, but he is advised, unless fa- miliar with such matters, to employ a competent attorney, 17 8 as the value of patents depends largely upon the skillful preparation of the specification and claims. The office can not aid in the selection of an attorney. A register of attorneys will be kept in this office, on which will be entered the names of all persons entitled to represent applicants before the Patent Office in the presen- tation and prosecution of applications for patent. The names of persons in the following classes will, upon their written request, be entered upon this register. (a) Any attorney at law who is in good standing in anj?^ court of record in the United States or any of the States or Territories thereof and shall furnish a certificate of the clerk of such United States, State, or Territorial court, duly authenticated under the seal of the court, that he is an attorney in good standing. {b) Any person who has been regularly recognized as an attorne}^ or agent to represent claimants before the Depart- ment of the Interior or any bureau thereof and is in good standing, provided that such person shall furnish a state- ment of the date of his admission to practice as such attor- ney or agent, and shall further show, if required by the Commissioner, that he is possessed of the necessary quali- fications to render applicants for patents valuable service and is otherwise competent to advise and assist them in the presentation and prosecution of their applications before the Patent Office. (c) Any person not an attorne}^ at law who shall file a certificate from a judge of a United States, State, or Terri- torial court, duly authenticated under the seal of the court, that such person is of good moral character and of good repute and possessed of the necessary qualifications to en- able him to render applicants for patents valuable service, and is otherwise competent to advise and assist them in the presentation and prosecution of their applications before the Patent Office. (d) Any firm not entitled to registration under the pre- ceding sections which shall show that the individuals com- posing the firm are each and all recognized as patent attor- neys or agents or are each and all entitled to be so recog- nized under the preceding sections of this rule. The Connnissioner may demand additional proof of qual- ilications and reserves the right to decline to recognize any attorney, agent, or other person applying for registration under this rule. 9 IS -22 Any person or firm not registered and not entitled to be recognized under this rule as an attorney or agent to rep- resent applicants. general h' ma}, upon a showing of cir- cumstances which render it necessary or justifiable, be recognized by the Commissioner to prosecute as attorney or agent certain specified application or applications, but this limited recognition shall not extend further than the application or applications named. No person not registered as above provided will be per- mitted to prosecute applications before the Patent Oflfice. 18. Before any attorney, orighial or associate, will be^Jy^^'^''"^'^"^'"" allowed to inspect papers or take action of any kind, his power of attorney must be filed. But general powers given b}' a principal to an associate can not be considered. In each application the written authorization must be filed. A power of attorney purporting to have been given to a firm or copartnership will not be recognized, either in copartners favor of the firm or of any of its members, unless all its members shall be named in such power of attorney. ***** 19.

Powers of attorney may be revoked at any stage in Revocation. the proceedings of a case upon application to and approval by the Commissioner; and when so revoked the oflice will communicate directly with the applicant, or such other attorney as he may appoint. An attorney will be promptly notified by the docket clerk of the revocation of his power of attorney. An assignment of an undivided interest will not operate as a revocation of the power previously given; but the assignee of the entire interest may be represented by an attorney of his own selection. 21.

APPLICANTS. Rev. Stat., sec. 24. A patent may be obtained b}' any person who has invented or discovered any new and useful art, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, not known or used b}^ others in this country before his invention or discovery thereof, and not patented or described in any printed publication in this or any foreign country before his invention or dis- Appiicants. covci'y thcrcof, 01' more than two years prior to his applica- B.ey. st&t, sec. tion^ and not patented in a countiy foreign to the United States on an application filed more than twelve months before his application, and not in public use or on sale in the United States for more than two years prior to his application, unless the same is proved to have been aban- doned, upon payment of the fees required by law and other due proceedings had. (For designs, see Rule 79.) Rev. Stot., sec. 25. In case of the death of the inventor, the application will be made b}^ and the patent will issue to his executor Executors and or administrator. In such case the oath required b}' Rule 46 will be made bj^ the executor or administrator. In case of the death of the inventor during the time intervening between the filing of his application and the granting of a patent thereon, the letters patent will issue to the executor or administrator upon proper intervention by him. The ex- ecutor or administrator duly authorized under the law of any foreign country to administer upon the estate of the deceased inventor shall^ in case the said inventor was not domiciled in the United States at the time of his death^ have the right to apply for and ohtain the patent.

The application and oath nmst be signed by the actual in- ventor, if alive, even if the patent is to issue to an assignee (see Rules 30, 40); if the inventor be dead, the applica- tion ma}^ be made by the executor or administrator. 27. If it appear that the inventor, at the time of , making Rev. stat., sec. his application, believed himself to be the first inventor or inventor be- discoverer, a patent will not be refused on account of theuf^b? firsTTn- invention or discovery, or any part thereof, having been known or used in any foreign country before his invention or discovery thereof, if it had not been before patented or described in any printed publication. 28. Joint inventors are entitled to a joint patent; neither joint invent- of them can obtain a patoit for an invention jointly invented ° by them. Independent inventors of distinct and independ- ent improvements in the same machine can not obtain a joint patent for their separate inventions. The fact that one person furnishes the capital and another makes the in- vention does not entitle them to make an application as joint inventors; but in such case they may become joint patentees, upon the conditions prescribed in Rule 26. 29. The receipt of letters patent from a foreign govern- ^ev. stat., sec. ment will not prevent the inventor from obtaining a patent Foreign pat in the United States, unless the application on rohich the foreign patent was granted was filed more than tioelve months pisior to the filing of the application in this counti-y^ in which case no patent shall he granted in this country. THE APPLICATION. 30. Applications for letters patent of the United States Rev.stats.,secs. must be made to the Commissioner of Patents, and must Re.'i"'?^^^'® °^ , , .

A complete application comprises the first fee of $16, a petition, specification, and oath; and drawings, model, 31-*J4 22 or specimen when required, (See Rules 49, 56, 62.) The petition, specification, and oath must be in the Eng-lish language.

This oath must be subscribed toby the alHant. The Commissioner may require an additional oath in Additional cases where the applications have not been filed in the Patent Office within a reasonable time after the execution of the original oath. 47. If the application be made by an executor or admin- Rev. stat., sec. istrator of a deceased person or the guardian, conservator, oathbyexecu- ^ . ^ 1 « ' tor or guardian. or representative of an insane person, the form of the oath will be correspondingly changed.

When the oath is taken before an officer in a country foreign to the United States, all the application papers must be attached together and a ribbon passed one or more times through all the sheets of the application, and the ends of said ribbon brought together under the seal before the latter is affixed and impressed, or each sheet December a must be impressed with the official seal of the officer })efore ^^^^' whom the oath was taken, or, if he is not provided with a seal, then each sheet must be initialed by him. 4§.52 16 oa^hTor "matter ^^- When an applicant presents a claim for matter origi- ciained!^^""^ nallj shown or described but not substantially embraced in the statement of invention or claim originally presented, he will file a supplemental oath to the effect that the sub- ject-matter of the proposed amendment was part of his invention, was invented before he filed his original applica- tion, was not known or used before his invention, was not patented or described in a printed publication in any coun- tr}^ more than two years before his application, was not patented to himself or toothers with his knowledge or con- sent in this or any foreign country on an application filed more than twelve months prior to his application, was not in public use or on sale in this countr}' for more than two years before the date of his application, and has not been abandoned.

The drawing may be signed by the inventor, or the name of the inventor may be signed on the drawing by bis attorney in fact, and must be attested by two witnesses. The drawing must show every feature of the invention cov- ered by the claims^ and the figures should be consecutively numbered if possible. When the invention consists of an improvement on an old machine the drawing must exhibit, in one or more views, the invention itself, disconnected from the old structure, and also in another view so much only of the old structure as will suflace to show the connection of the invention therewith, of^ratvin^"*°°* 51- Three several ecitions of patent drawings are printed and published — one for office use, certified copies, etc., of the size and character of those attached to patents, the work })eing about G by 9|- inches; one reduced to half that scale, or one-fourth the surface, of which four are printed on a page to illustrate the volumes distributed to the courts; and one reduction — to about the same scale — of a selected portion of each drawing for the Official Gazette. ^^rniformstana- 52. This work is done by the photolithographic process, and therefore the character of each original drawing must be brought as nearly as possible to a uniform standard of 17 52 excellence, suited to the requirements of the process, and calculated to giva the best results, in the interests of invent- ors, of the office, and of the public. The following rules will therefore be rigidly enforced, and any departure from them will be certain to cause delay in the examination of an application for letters patent: (1) Drawings must be made upon pure white paper of Paperandink. a thickness corresponding to three-sheet Bristol- board. The surface of the paper must be calen- dered and smooth. India ink alone must be used, to secure perfectly l)lack and solid lines. (2) Thesizeof a sheet on which a drawing is made nmst ^{^^ "^ ^^oet ^ ' => and marginal be exactly 10 b}' 1 5 inches. One inch from its edges 'ines. a single marginal line is to be drawn, leaving the "sight" precisely 8 by 13 inches. Within this margin all work and signatures must be included. One of the shorter sides of the sheet is regarded as its top, and, measuring downwardly from the marginal line, a space of not less than li inches is to be left blank for the heading of title, name, num- ber, and date. (3) All drawings nmst be made with the pen onlv- 9'^^'^r^.®'^ *°^ ^ ' '^ f J color of lines. Every Ime and letter (signatures included) must be absolutely black. This direction applies to all lines, however tine, to shading, and to lines repre- senting cut surfaces in sectional views. All lines must be clean, sharp, and solid, and they must not be too tine or crowded. Surface shading, when used, should be open. Sectional shading should be made by oblique parallel lines, which may be about one-twentieth of an inch apart. Solid black should not be used for sectional or surface shading. (4) Drawings should be made with the fewest lines . Few lines and possible consistent with clearness. By the observ- ing. ance of this rule the effectiveness of the work after reduction will be much increased. Shading (ex- cept on sectional views) should be used only on convex and concave surfaces, where it should be used sparingly, and may even there be dispensed with if the drawing is otherwise well executed. The plane upon which a sectional view is taken should be indicated on the general view by a broken or dotted line. Heavy lines on the shade sides of objects should be used, except where they tend to thicken the work and obscure letters of reference. The lignt is alwa} s supposed to come from the up- per left-hand corner at an angle of forty-five de- 10033—06 2 52 18 Scale of draw- ing. Letters of ref- erence. Signatures of 'nventorandwit- neases. Title. Large viewa grees. Imitations of wood or surface graining should not be attempted. (5) The scale to which a drawing is made ought to be large enough to show the mechanism without crowding, and two or more sheets should be used if one does not give sufficient room to accomplish this end; but the number of sheets must never be more than is absolutely necessary. (6) The different views should be consecutively num- bered. Letters and figures of reference must be carefully formed. They should, if possible, meas- ure at least one-eighth of an inch in height, so that they may bear reduction to one twenty-fourth of an inch; and they may be much larger when there is sufficient room. They must be so placed in the close and complex parts of drawings as not to inter- fere with a thorough comprehension of the same, and therefore should rarely cross or mingle with the lines. When necessarily grouped around a cer- tain part, they should be placed at a little distance, where there is available space, and connected by short broken lines with the parts to which they refer. They must never appear upon shaded sur- faces, and when it is difficult to avoid this, a blank space must be left in the shading where the letter occurs, so that it shall appear perfectl}' distinct and separate from the work. If the same part of an invention appear in more than one view of the drawing it must always be represented by the same character, and the same character must never be used to designate different parts. (7) The signature of the inventor should be placed at the lower right-hand corner of each sheet, and the signatures of the witnesses at the lower left- hand corner, all within the marginal line, but in no instance should they trespass upon the drawings. (See specimen drawing, Appendix.) The title should be written with pencil on the back of the sheet. The permanent names and titl(>, will be sup- plied subsequently by the office in uniform st3de. When views are longer than the width of the sheet, the sheet should be turned on its side and the heading will be placed at the right and the signatures at the left, occup^^ing the same space and position as in the upright views, and being horizontal when the sheet is held in an upright position; and all views on the same sheet must 19 53-55 stand in the same direction. One figuic must not bo placed upon another or within the outline of another. (8) As a rule, one view only of each invention can h«' j,J/^f "'■^' ^"^^a- shown in the Gazette illustrations. TIk^ selection of that portion of a drawing- ))ost calculated to ex- • plain the nature of the specific improvement would be facilitated and the final result improved by the judicious execution of a figure with express refer- ence to the (irazette, l)ut which might at the same time serve as one of the figures referred to in the specification. For this purpose the figure may be a plan, elevation, section, or perspective view, ac- cording to the judgment of the draftsman. It must not cover a space exceeding 16 square inches. All its parts should be especially open and distinct, with very little or no shading, and it must illustrate the invention claimed only, to the exclusion of all other details. (See specimen drawing.) When well executed, it will be used without curtailment or change, but any excessive fineness, or crowding, or unnecessary elaborateness of detail will necessi- tate its exclusion from the Gazette. (9) Drawings should be rolled for transmission to the Drawings to be ^ „ , y, rolled for trans- omce, not folded.* mission. An agent's or attorney's stamp, oradv^ertisement, ye^tislm^^' ^or or written address will not be permitted upon the ^^^^""^^^^ fa^cTof face of a drawing, within or without the marginal drawings. line. 53. All reissue applications must be accompanied by new 4895^^' ^^* ' ^^^' drawings, of the character required in original applications, reEsiir^ppiica^ and the inventor's name must appear upon the same in all *i°^^- cases; and such drawings shall be made upon the same scale as the original dra\ying, or upon a larger scale, unless a reduction of scale shall be authorized by the Commissioner. 54. The foregoing rules relating to drawings will be rig- .Defective draw- idly enforced. Every drawing not artistically executed in conf ormit}^ thereto may be admitted for purposes of exami- nation if it sufiicienth^ illustrates the invention, but in such cases a new drawing must be furnished before the appli cation can be allowed. The office will make the necessary corrections at the applicant's option and cost. 55. Applicants are advised to emplov competent artists .R5^?'l"ss fur- *^ f^ . . f .

THE MODEL. Rev. Stat., sec. 56. Preliminary examinations Will not be made for the Models, when purpose ot determinino' wh(»th«>r models are re(|uirea m par- required. ^, \ Al-^. 'Ill ticular cases. Applications complete in all other respects will be sent to the examining divisions, whether models are or are not furnished. A model will only be required or admitted as a part of the application when on examination of the case in its regular order the primary examiner shall find it to be necessary or useful. In such case, if a model has not been furnished, the examiner shall notify the appli- cant of such requirement, which will constitute an official action in the case. When a model is received in compliance with the official requirement, the date of its filing shall be entered on the file wrapper. Models not required nor ad- mitted will be returned to the applicants. When a model is required, the examination will be suspended until it shall have been filed. From a decision of the primar}^ examiner overruling a motion to dispense with a model an appeal may be taken to the Commissioner in person, under the provisions of Rule 145. j^^l^^isites of 57 The model must clearly exhibit every feature of the machine which forms the subject of a claim of invention, but should not include other matter than that covered b}'- the actual invention or improvement, unless it be necessary to the exhibition of the invention in a working model. Material and 58_ xhc luodcl iiiust be ncatlv and substantiallv made of dimensions. durable material, metal being deemed preferable; but when the material forms an essential feature of the invention, the model should be constructed of that material. The model must not be more than one foot in length, width, or height, except in cases in which the Commissioner slial I admit work- ing models of complicated machines of larger dimensions. If made of wood, it must l)e painted or varnished. Glue must not b(; used; but the parts should be so connected as to resist the action of heat and moisture. When practi- cal)le, to prevent loss, the model or specimen should have the name of the inventor permanently fixed thereon. In cases where models are not made strong and substtmtial as here directed, tiie application will not be examined until a proper model is furnished.

If not claimed within a reasonable time, the}^ may be disposed of at the discretion of the Commissioner. SPECIMENS. 62. When the invention or discoveiy is a composition of Rev. stat., sec. matter, the applicant, if required by the Commissioner, shall specimens. furnish specimens of the composition, and of its ingredients, sufficient in quantity for the purpose of experiment. In all cases where the article is not perishable, a specimen of the composition claimed, put up in proper form to be preserved by the office, must be furnished. (Rules 56, 60, and 61 apply to specimens also.) THE EXAMINATION. 63. Applications filed in the Patent Office are classified . orderof exam- , ^ ^ , ■ ination. according to the various arts, and are taken up for examina- tion in regular order of filing, those in the same class of invention being examined and disposed of, as far as prac- ticable, in the order in which the respective applications are completed. The following new applications have preference over all p r i v i i e g o c- other new cases at every period of their examination in the order enumerated: (1) Applications wherein the inventions are deemed of peculiar importance to some branch of the public service, and when for that reason the head of some Department of the Government requests immedi- ate action and the Commissioner so orders; hut in such case it shall he the dtity of such head of a De- partment to he represented hefore the Commissioner in order to jpi'event the improper issue of a patent. (2) Applications for reissues. 64-66 22 (3) Applications which appear to interfere with other applications previously considered and found to be allowable, or which it is demanded shall be placed in interference with an unexpired patent or patents. The following applications, previously acted upon, will have preference over other business: (1) Cases remanded by an appellate tribunal for fur- ther action, and statements of grounds of deci- sions provided for in Rules 135 and 145. (2) Applications which have been put into condition for further action by the examiner shall be entitled to precedence over new applications in the same class of invention. (3) Applications which have been renewed or revived but the subject-matter not changed. (4) When the inventor dies and his executor or admin- istrator files a new application for the same inven- tion, the new application may be given the same status in the order of examination as the original by order of the Commissioner. Merits treated 64. Where the specification and claims are such that the throughout. At. . iti t ii •• last form insisted invention may be readily understood, the examination of a complete application and the action thereon will be directed throughout to the merits; but in each letter the examiner shall state or refer to all his objections.

After such action upon an application as will entitle the,^f^™/"^™fi^g applicant to an appeal to the examiners-in-chief (Rule 134), ready for appeal. or after such appeal has been taken, amendments canceling claims or presenting those rejected in better form for con- sideration on appeal may be admitted; but the admission of such an amendment or its refusal, and any proceedings 69-73 24 relative thereto, shall not operate to relieve the application from its condition as subject to appeal, or to save it from abandonment under Rule 171 . If amendments touching the merits of tlie application are presented after the case is in condition for appeal, or after appeal has been taken, they ma}'^ be admitted upon a showing duly verified of good and sufficient reasons why they were not earlier presented. From the refusal of the primary' examiner to admit an amendment a petition will lie to the Commissioner under Rule 115. No amendment can be made in appealed cases between the filing of the examiner's statement of the grounds of his decision (Rule 135) and the decision of the appellate tribunal.

TESTIMONY IN INTERFERENCES AND OTHER CONTESTED CASES. Right to open and close. 154. The following rules have been established for taking and transmitting testimony in interferences and other con- tested cases: (1) Before the depositions of witnesses are taken by either part}^ due notice shall be given to the oppos- ing party, as hereinafter provided, of the time when and place where the depositions will be taken, of the cause or matter in which they are to be used, and of the names and residences of the wit- nesses to be examined, and the opposing party shall have full opportunity, either in person or by attorney, to cross-examine the witnesses. If the opposing party shall attend the examination of witnesses not named in the notice, and shall either cross-examine such witnesses or fail to object to their examination, he shall be deemed to have Rev. 4905. Stat., sec. Notice. Waiver. 154 44 Reasonable time for travel. Service of no- tice. OflBcial certifi- oate. waived his right to object to such examination for want of notice. Neither party shall take testimony in more than one place at the same time, nor so nearly at the same time that reasonable oppor- tunity for travel from one place of examination to the other can not be had. (2) The notice for taking testimony or for motions must be served (unless otherwise stipulated in an in- strument in writing tiled in the case) upon the attorney of record, if there be one, or. if there be no attorney of record, upon the adverse party. Rea- sonable time must be given therein for such adverse party to reach the place of examination. Service of such notice may be made in either of the following ways: (1) By delivering a copy of the notice to the advei-se party or his attorney: (2) by leaving a copv at the usual place of business of the adverse party or his attorney with some one in hLs employ- ment; (3) when such adverse party or his attorney has no usual place of business, by leaving a copy at his residence, with a member of his family over fourteen years of age and of discretion: (4j trans- mission bv registered letter: (5) by express. When- ever it shall be satisfactorily shown to the Commis- sioner that neither of the above modes of obtain- ing or reserving notice is practicable, the notice may be published in the Otiicial Gazette. Such notice shall, with sworn proof of the fact. time, and mode of service thereof, be attached to the deposition or depositions whether the opposing party shall have cross-examined or not. (3) Each witness before testifying shall be duly sworn according to law by the officer before whom his deposition shall be taken. The deposition shall be carefully read over by the witness, or by the officer to him. and shall then be subscribed by the wit- ness in the presence of the officer. The officer shall annex to the deposition his certificate show- ing (1) the due administration of the oath bv the officer to the witness before the commencement of his testimony; (2) the name of the person by whom the testimony was written out, and the fact that, if not written by the officer, it was written in his presence; (8) the presence or absence of the adverse party; (4) the place, day, and hour of commencing and taking the deposition; (5) the reading by, or 45 »»« to, each witness of his deposition before he signs the same; and (6) the fact that the officer was not connected by blood or marriage with either of the parties, nor interested, directly or indirectly, in the matter in controversy. The officer shall sign the ^^^^^Py^jj*\'J||^,j^. certificate and affix thereto his seal of office, if te^/^'^jr^^^J-^^'^^'j^; have such seal. lie shall then, without delay, ""'^'^'^"er. securely seal up all the evidence, notices, and paper exhibits, inscribe upon the envelope a certificate giving the title of the case, the name of each wit- ness, and the date of sealing, address the package, and forward the same to the Commissioner of Patents. If the weight or bulk of an exhibit ^'^'^i'^its. shall exclude it from the envelope, it shall be authenticated by the officer and transmitted in a separate package, marked and addressed as above provided. ***** '4) If a party shall be unable to' take any testimony ^^^^^otwn^to^e^; within the time limited, and desires an extension for i°s testimony. such purpose, he must file a motion, accompanied by a statement under oath setting forth specifically the reason wh}^ such testimony has not been taken, and distinctly averring that such motion is made in good faith, and not for the purpose of dela3\ If either party shall be unable to procure the testi- mony of a witness or witnesses within the time limited, and desires an extension for such purpose, he must file a motion, accompanied by a statement under oath setting forth the cause of such inability, the name or names of such witness or witnesses, the facts expected to be proved by such witness or witnesses, the steps which have been taken to procure such testimony, and the dates on which efforts have been made to procure it. (See Rule 153.) (5) When a partv relies upon a caveat to establish the R^v. stat., sec. date of his invention, the caveat itself, or a certified , caveat as evi- uence. copy thereof, must be filed in evidence, with due notice to the opposite party. (6) Upon notice given to the opposite party before the official records '"■, rti 1./ and special mat- closmg of the testimony, any official record, and tej- offered in evi- any special matter contained in a printed publica- tion, if competent evidence and pertinent to the issue, may be used as evidence at the hearing. 155-15§ 46 Formalities.

Such disclaimer shall be in writing, attested by one or more witnesses, and recorded in the Patent Office; and it shall thereafter be considered as part of the original specification to the extent of the interest possessed by the claimant and ])y those claiming under him after the record thereof. But no such disclaimer shall atfect any action 53 1S2-1S7 pending at the time of filing the same, except as to the question of luireasonable neglect or delay in filing it. 182. Such disclaimer must he distinguished from those ^»i^^«^«£i;^^« which are embodied in original or reissue applications, as first filed or subsequently amended, referring to matter shown or described, but to which the disclaimant does not choose to claim title, and also from those made to avoid the continuance of an interference. Such disclaimers must be signed by the applicant in person and must be duly wit- nessed, and require no fee. (See Rule 107. For forms of disclaimers, see Appendix, Forms 27 and 28.) CAVEATS. 183. A caveat, under the patent law, is a notice given to Definition. the Patent Ofiice of the caveator's claim as inventor, in order to prevent the grant of a patent to another person for the same alleged invention upon an application filed during the life of the caveat without notice to the caveator. 184. Any person who has made a new invention or dis- Rev. stat., sec. covery and desires further time to mature the same may. Qualification of on payment of a fee of ten dollars, file in the Patent Ofiice a caveat setting forth the object and the distinguishing characteristics of the invention, and praying protection of his right until he shall have matured his invention. Such caveat shall be filed in the confidential archives of the oiSSce and preserved in secrecy, and shall be operative for the term of one year from the filing thereof. 185. The caveat may be renewed, on request in writing. Renewal by the payment of a second caveat fee of ten dollars, and it will continue in force for one year from the date of the payment of such second fee. Subsequent renewals may be made with like effect. If a caveat be not renewed, it will still be preserved in the secret archives of the office. 186. The caveat must comprise a specification, oath, and, Requisites. when the nature of the case admits of it, a drawing, and, like an application for a patent, must be limited to a single invention or improvement. 187. The same particularity of description is not required Rev. stat., sec. in a caveat as in an application for a patent; but the caveat must set forth the object of the invention and the distin- guishing characteristics thereof, audit should be sufficiently Particularity precise to enable the office to judge whether there is a prob- 4902 1§§-193 54 able interference when a subsequent application is filed for a similar invention. If, upon examination, a caveat be found defective in this respect, tunendmcnt avill be re- quired. Without compliance with Rules 184, 186, 187, and 18S>, the caveator will not be entitled to the notice provided for in Rule 190. Rev. Stat., sec. 188. The oatli of the caveator must set forth that he 02. Oath. believes himself the original and first inventor of the art, machine, or improvement set forth in his caveat. (See Rule 46.) Drawings. 189. The cavcat should be accompanied, when practica- ble, by full and accurate drawings, separate from the specification, well executed on tracing muslin or paper that may be folded. (See Ride 51.) Rev. Stat. sec. 190. If at any time within one year after the filing or Nfotice of inter- renewal of a ca\^eat another person shall file an application tion. for an invention which would in any manner interfere with the invention set forth in such caveat, then such ap- plication will be suspended and notice thereof will be sent to the person filing the caveat. If the caveator shall file a complete application within the time prescribed, and if the invention be found pat- entable, he will be entitled to an interference with the previous application, for the purpose of proving priority of invention and obtaining the patent if he be adjudged the prior inventor. The caveator, if he would avail him- Appiication by self of his cavcat, must file his aijplication vdthin three CftVGiitor, months from the expiration of the time regularlj^ required for the transmission to him of the notice deposited in the post-office at Washington.

It may be used as evidence in contests, as provided in Rule 154 (5). Afisignment. 193^ There is no })rovision of law making the caveat as- signaVjle, although the alleged invention therein set forth is assignal)le, and the caveat may be used as means of identifying the invention transferred in an assignment. 55 194-197 194. Caveat papers can not bo withdrjiwii from the office ^pje*^*^"^^^'*^ after they have been tiled; but copies of the papei's maybe obtained at the usual rates by the caveator or any person dul}^ authorized l)y him. Additional papers, if containing new matter, must bo iilcd as a separate caveat, with another fee. (For caveat forms, see Appendix, Forms 11 and 17.) ASSIGNMENTS. 195.

To the Com mia\d stand being contained within a cover kj which is secured to the block, 67 and which prevents particles of meat from escaping through the cen tral opening of the same. The cross-head I, previously referred to, and shown in perspective in Fig. 4, is vertically adjustable on the rod H, and can be retained after adjustment by a set-screw a', the upper end of the rod being threaded for the reception of nuts, which resist the shocks imparted to the cross- head when the knives are brought into violent contact with the meat or the chopping-block. The knives d d are adjustable independently of each other and of the said cross-head, so that the coincidence of the cutting-edge of each knife with the face of the chopping-block may always ])o assured. I prefer to carry out this feature of my invention in the manner shown in Fig. 4, where it will be seen that two screw-rods m rii rise vertically from the back of each knife and pass through lugs n n on the cross- head, each rod being furnished with two nuts, one above and the other below the lug through which it passes. The most accurate adjustment of the knives can be effected by the manipulation of these nuts. A circular casing jr; is secured to the chopping-block, so as to form on the same a trough P for keeping the meat within proper bounds; and on the edge of the annular rib h^ secured to the bottom of the block, are teeth ?', for receiving those of a pinion q. which may be driven by the shaft D through the medium of any suitable system of gearing, that shown in the drawing forming no part of my present invention. This shaft D may be driven by a belt passing round the pulleys .§, or it may be driven by hand from a shaft W, furnished at one end with a handle f^ and at the other with a cog-wheel R, gearing into a pinion on the said shaft D. A platform T may be hinged, as at w^ to one edge of the table A, to support a vessel in which the chopped meat can be deposited. The means by which it may be supported are shown in full lines, and the most convenient method of disposing of it when not in use is shown in dotted lines, in fig. 1. 1 am aware that prior to my invention meat-chopping machines have been made with vertically-reciprocating knives operating in conjunction with rotating chopping-blocks. I therefore do not claim such a combi- nation broadly ; but I claim: 1. The combination, in a meat-chopping machine, of a rotary chop- ping-block having an annular rib, with a table having an annular recess and a pocket communicating with the said recess, all substantially as set forth. 2. In ameat-choppingmachine, the combination of a rotary chopping- block with a reciprocating cross-head carrying knives, each of which is 68 rerticaUy adjustable on the said cross-head independently of the other, substantialh' as described. 3. The knife d, having two screw-rods, m«?, attached to its back, sub- stantially as shown, for the purpose specified. 4. The combination, in a meat-chopping machine, of the reciprocating rod, carrying the knives, the cross-head secured to the said rod, and having anti-friction rollers, with guides, adapted to the said rollers, all substantially as set forth. Witnesses: 15. For a compositiox of matter. To all whom it rtiay concern: Be it known that I, , a citizen of the United States, residing at , in the count}' of .. and State of (or subject, etc.), have invented a new and useful composition of matter to be used for the removal of hair and grease from hides preparatory to tanning, of which the following is a specification: My composition consists of the following ingredients, combined in the proportions stated, viz: Water substantially pure 500 gallons. Unslaked lime 350 pounds. Soda-ash (sodium carbonate) 100 pounds. Saltpeter (nitrate of an alkali metal) 20 pounds. Sulphur (preferably flowers of sulphur) 10 pounds. These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation. In using the above-named composition the hides should first be freed from all salt and impurities b}' soaking green hides one day and dry hides eight days. The hides so cleaned are then placed in the said solution, and allowed to remain in it forty-eight hours. The}' should then be removed from the solution and unhaired in the usual way. By the use of the above composition the hair is speedily and thor- oughly loosened, and the hides, while rotahiiiig all of that portion of the substance which can be converted into leather, are at the same time entirely cleaned from grease and other substances which would prevent them from being tanned quickly. I am aware that a composition consisting of soda-ash, water, lime, and sulphur has been used for the same purpose, and that a patent therefor was granted to C. D. , July 10, 18 - . , No I am also aware that saltpeter has been used in depilatory processes; but I am not TK . . . . G M.. . Z. JJG.i -ZT J9 . G C 69 aware that all the ingredients of my composition have been used together. I claim: 1. The herein-described composition of matter, consisting of water, iinshiked lime, soda-ash, saltpeter, and sulphur, substantially as described and for the purpose specified, 2. T'he herein-described composition of matter for depilating and proyj. ■ tanning, consisting of pure water five hundred gallons, unsia >.».i lime three hundred and lifty pounds, soda-ash one hundred pounds, saltpeter twenty pounds, and flowers of sulphur ten pounds, subs^' "ally as described. Witnesses: 16. For a design. To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, , a citizen of the United States, residing at , in the count}^ of , and State of (or subject, etc.), have invented a new, original, and ornamental Design for Watch-Cases, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part thereof. The figure is a plan view of a watch case, showing my new design. I claim: The ornamental design for a watch case, as shown. Witnesses: 17. For a caveat. To all lohom, it may concern : Be it known that I, , a citizen of the United States, residing at , in the county of and State of (or subject, etc.), having invented an improvement in velocipedes, and desiring further 70 to mature the same, file this mj caveat therefor, and pray protection of inv right until I shall have matured mv invention. The following is a description of my newly-invented velocipede, which is as full, clear, and exact as I am able at this time to give, reference being had to the drawing hereto annexed. This invention relates to that class of velocipedes in which there are two wheels connected by a beam forming a saddle for the rider, the feet being applied to cranks that revolve the front wheel. The object of my invention is to render it unnecessary to turn the front wheel so much as heretofore, and at the same time to facilitate the turning of sharp curves. This I accomplish by fitting the front and the hind Avheels on vertical pivots, and connecting them by means of a diagonal bar, as shown in the drawing, so that the turning of the front wheel also turns the back wheel with a position at an angle with the beams, thereby enabling it easily to turn a curve. In the drawing, A is the front wheel, B the hind wheel, and C the standards extending from the axle of the front wheel to the vertical pivot E in the beam F, and D is the cross-bar upon the end of E, by which the steering is done. The hind wheel B is also fitted with jaws G and a vertical pivot H. Witnesses: OATHS. 18.

SUNDAYS AND LEGAL HOLIDAYS EXCLUDED. That wherever days are mentioned in the foregoing rules as limitation of time they shall be construed to exclude Sundays and legal holidays. INSTRUCTIONS TO APPELLANTS. The act of Congress creating the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, approved February 5), 1893, gives to that court jurisdiction of appeals from final decisions of the Commissioner of Patents both in ex "parte cases and in interference cases. 89 Where an appeal of cithor class is to be prosecuted to the court ol appeals of the District of Columbia, the first step is to tile with the Commissioner of Patents a notice of appeal, together with an assign- ment of reasons of appeal. This step must be taken within /^r/y days, exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays, from the date of the decision of the Commissioner of Patents sought to be reviewed. The next step in the prosecution of such an appeal is to file witli the clerk of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia a certilied transcript of the record and proceedings in the Patent Office relating to the case in question, together with a petition for appeal, addressed to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, make a deposit of $15, and have the appearance of a member of the bar of that court entered for the appellant. The notice of appeal and reasons of appeal required to be served upon the Commissioner of Patents ma};^ be signed by the applicant or by his attorney of record in the Patent Office, but the petition for an appeal that is filed in the court of appeals of the District of Columbia must be signed by a member of the bar of the court of appeals of the Dis- trict of Columbia, who should enter a regular appearance in the case in the clerk's office. After the petition for the appeal, the certified transcript, and the docket fee of $15 have been lodged in the office of the clerk of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, the clerk will send to the solicitor of record an estimate of the cost of printing the petition, transcript, etc. When the amount called for is deposited, the clerk will cause the printing to be done under his supervision, and when the printing is completed the case will be put on the calendar for hearing at the next term at which patent appeals are heard. In interference cases the clerk is authorized to receive printed copies of the evidence, such as have been used in the Patent Office, thus saving to the appellant the cost of reprinting such evidence. When such printed copies are supplied, twenty-five copies must be furnished. As above stated, the notice of appeal and the reasons of appeal are required to be filed with the Commissioner of Patents within forty days {exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays) of the date of the deci- sion appealed from, but the petition for appeal and the certified tran- script which are to be filed in the court of appeals of the District of Columbia are required to be filed in that court within forty days {exclu- sive of Sundays andlegal Iu}lldays)froin the time of the giving ofthenotlce of appeal; that is to say, if the decision complained of was rendered, for instance, on the 1st day of July, 1896, the party aggrieved might file his notice of appeal, with the reasons of appeal, at any time within forty days {exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays) thereafter; but if he filed his notice of appeal and reasons therefor on the 10th day of July, 1896, he would be required to file his petition for appeal and the certified transcript in the court of appeals of the District of Columbia 90 within forty days {exclusive of Sundays and legal Twlidays) of the 10th day of July, 1896.
