Revised patent rules define inventor rights and office duties
In the 1897 United States patent office rules, the aim is to grant to the inventor what is new and not public domain, while not denying necessary benefit to the inventor. A patent is likened to a deed for land, defining scope and boundaries, with disputes over claims and mediating less litigation than land titles. Thomas G. and J. Ralph Onwin offer information on obtaining valuing and selling patents.
