Patent Laws Outdated Need Revision
NEW YORK AP The world patent laws, created long ago, are overdue for change. The US system has been largely unchanged since 1836 and now takes over two years to grant a patent with global filings and costly litigation. Proposals seek a single world document, longer patent terms to 20 years, and streamlined initial filings, plus an international reciprocity to speed search and examination and cut costs.

In 1943 U S Marines captured Cape Gloucester airfield on New Britain. Berlin authorities in 1945 published Hitler’s will and his marriage contract with Eva Braun. Five years ago Kennedy viewed 1962 as a year with limited Communist gains but rising East-West tension remained.
