  A 
  

  

  PATENT 
  gives 
  you 
  an 
  exclusive 
  right 
  to 
  your 
  in- 
  

   vention 
  for 
  a 
  term 
  of 
  seventeen 
  years. 
  You 
  can 
  

   sell, 
  lease, 
  mortgage 
  it, 
  assign 
  portions 
  of 
  it, 
  and 
  

   grant 
  licenses 
  to 
  manufacture 
  under 
  it. 
  Our 
  Patent 
  

   system 
  is 
  responsible 
  for 
  much 
  of 
  our 
  industrial 
  

   progress 
  and 
  our 
  success 
  in 
  competing 
  in 
  the 
  markets 
  of 
  the 
  

   world. 
  The 
  value 
  of 
  a 
  successful 
  Patent 
  is 
  in 
  no 
  degree 
  

   commensurate 
  with 
  the 
  almost 
  nominal 
  cost 
  of 
  obtaining 
  it. 
  

   In 
  order 
  to 
  obtain 
  a 
  Patent 
  it 
  is 
  necessary 
  to 
  employ 
  a 
  Patent 
  

   Attorney 
  to 
  prepare 
  the 
  specifications 
  and 
  draw 
  the 
  claims. 
  

   This 
  is 
  a 
  special 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  legal 
  profession 
  which 
  

   can 
  only 
  be 
  conducted 
  successfully 
  by 
  experts. 
  For 
  nearly 
  

   sixty 
  years 
  we 
  have 
  acted 
  as 
  solicitors 
  for 
  thousands 
  of 
  

   clients 
  in 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  world. 
  Our 
  vast 
  experience 
  en- 
  

   ables 
  us 
  to 
  prepare 
  and 
  prosecute 
  Patent 
  cases 
  and 
  Trade 
  

   Marks 
  at 
  a 
  minimum 
  of 
  expense. 
  Our 
  work 
  is 
  of 
  one 
  

   quality 
  and 
  the 
  rates 
  are 
  the 
  same 
  to 
  rich 
  and 
  poor. 
  Our 
  

   unbiased 
  opinion 
  freely 
  given. 
  We 
  are 
  happy 
  to 
  consult 
  

   with 
  you 
  in 
  person 
  or 
  by 
  letter 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  probable 
  

   patentability 
  of 
  your 
  invention.

  The 
  beautiful 
  green 
  cloth 
  is 
  most 
  sub- 
  

   stantial,

  the 
  book 
  is 
  sewn 
  by

  give 
  the 
  necessary 
  

   strength 
  for 
  so 
  heavy 
  a

  (\ 
  The 
  decoration 
  of 
  the 
  cover 
  

   is 
  unique.
