The Inventors Adviser And Manufacturers Handbook To Patents Designs Trade Marks PDF Download

Excerpt from The Inventor's Adviser, and Manufacturer's Handbook to Patents, Trade-Marks, Designs, Copyrights, Prints and Labels First: Send to my offices a disclosure of your invention for preliminary search of the Patent Office records. Cost $10. A disclosure may consist of sketches or diagrams and a description of the invention. A model is desirable, but not necessary. Immediately upon the receipt of the disclosure, I will make the preliminary examination and render my opinion concerning the invention's patentability and the exact fee required for preparing and filing the application in the Patent Office. A search is not compulsory, and if you know your invention is new you can instruct me to immediately prepare the application for patent, thereby saving time and cost of search. Second: If the invention is patentable. then remit to me the usual advance fee of $30 in ordinary cases and I will prepare the complete application papers and drawings which are sent to you for your approval and signature before filing in the Patent Office. Third: After you have approved your application papers you should then return the same to me with the balance of the fees amounting to $45 in ordinary cases, and the application will be placed on file in the Patent Office which will send to you a receipt to that effect. Fourth: If no opposition is raised by the Patent Office during the examination and if the invention is found allowable, the final government fee of $20 must be paid in the Patent Office within six months from the date of the allowance. Fifth: Within about four weeks from the date of the payment of this final government fee into the Patent Office, the official Letters Patent will be issued. My minimum fee of $75 for preparing and filing an application for patent includes the government filing fee of $15, one sheet of Patent Office drawings and my attorney fee. If the invention is complicated and additional drawings are required extra charges will be made and you will be advised as to the complete cost of your application before starting any work. This minimum fee of $75 does not include any oppositions, interferences or appeals that are likely to arise during the prosecution of the application for patent, nor does it include the final government fee.
