An important provision of the 

 Act of 1907 deals with the revoca- 

 tion of patents worked outside 

 the United Kingdom. Until the 

 passing of this Act it was not an 

 uncommon practice for patent 

 rights to be secured in the United 

 Kingdom, and for the protected 

 product to be manufactured en- 

 tirely abroad. By section 27 of this 

 Act it is enacted that at any time 

 not less than four years after the 

 date of a patent, any person may 

 apply for the revocation of a 

 patent on the ground that the 

 protected product or process is 

 manufactured or carried on wholly 

 or largely outside the United 

 Kingdom. The 'fees payable for 

 a patent are, 1 with the applica- 

 tion, 3 when lodging the com- 

 plete specification, and 1 at the 

 time of sealing. No further fees 

 are payable until the expiration 

 of four years, when the scale of 

 charges becomes 5 for the fifth 

 year, 6 for the sixth year, and so 

 on until the sixteenth year, when 

 16 is chargeable. See British, 

 Colonial, and Foreign Patents, C. A. 

 Day, 1895: Patent Laws of the 

 World, W. Carpmael, new ed. 1899. 



Patent Medicine. Preparation 

 sold as a cure for, or palliative of, 

 some disease or ailment of the

 of such the maker, proprietor, or 

 vendor claims to have some occult 

 secret or art. A patent medicine is 

 also one advertised, held out, or 

 recommended to the public as a 

 proprietary medicine, or as a speci- 

 fic for curing any physical malady, 

 and one to which the owners claim 

 an exclusive right of sale, either

 century, and the Row was named 

 after them. At the E. end until

 Alley, the other in Canon Alley,
