Patents are obtainable by bill in equity, although the commissioner of patents (or, on appeal, the supreme court of the District of Columbia) may have refused them. In the same circumstance, or where a patent is inoperative or invalid by reason of a defective or insufficient specification, the patentee may surrender his patent, and the commissioner ofpatents may, on the application of the patentee and on payment of a fee of $30, issue a new patent in accordance with the amended specification. http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/P/PA/PATENTS.htm      Letters patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Letters patent are a type of legal document which is an open letter issued by a monarch or government granting a right, monopoly, title, or status to someone or some entity such as a corporation. Letters patent can be used for the granting of coats of arms, for the creation of corporations, or by a monarch to create an office. In the United States, the forgery of letters patent granted by the President of the United States is a crime subject to fine and/or imprisonment up to ten years (18 U.S.C. edit] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letters_patent      Letters Patent Letters patent from the abbots of Beaubec and Valioires to the archbishop of Rheims and the bishop of Amiens (Archives de l'Aube, 3 H 120). Letters patent could be issued by direct authority of the offices of the chancery, but many were issued in response to petitions from private citizens or institutions. By the later middle ages, the procedure for generating letters patent could involve several steps, including a petition from the grantee, a letter from the office of the signet, a warrant from the office of the privy seal, letters patent under the great seal and an entry on the Patent Rolls. http://medievalwriting.50megs.com/word/patent.htm      Untitled Patent, the adjective, means "open," and patent, the noun, is the customary abbreviation of "open letter." The official name is "letters patent," a literal translation of the Latin "litterae patentes." Letters patent are official documents by which certain rights, privileges, ranks, or titles are conferred. Among the better known of such "open letters" are patents of appointment (of officers, military, judicial, colonial), patents of nobility, patents of precedence, patents of land conveyance, patents of monopoly, patents of invention. Patent protection for inventors is advocated on ethical grounds - in the name of "justice" or "natural right" - or on pragmatic grounds - in the name of "promotion of the public interest." In some views, ethical and pragmatic considerations are combined.... http://www.ipmall.fplc.edu/hosted_resources/jepson/unit1/aneconom.htm      Definition - Patent (Microsoft Encarta '96 Encyclopedia The Patent Act of 1790 was administered by a commission composed of the secretary of state, the secretary of war, and the attorney general of the U.S. The basis of the present patent system is the act of July 4, 1836. Once a patent is granted, it is out of the jurisdiction of the Patent and Trademark Office, and matters of infringement, the scope of the patent, or any other questions that arise out of the grant are within the jurisdiction of the U.S. district courts. Copies of U.S. patents may be purchased from the Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, D.C.; photostatic copies of foreign patents may also be obtained on payment of the required fees, as nearly complete sets of the patents of many foreign countries are available in the Patent and Trademark Office library. http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov/hotlist/patdef.html      Patent The term "patent" originates from the term patere which means to lay open (to public inspection) and the term letters patent, which originally denoted royal decrees granting exclusive rights to certain individuals or businesses. Furthermore, as the grant of letters patent only grants the right to exclude others from practicing the invention and does not affirmatively grant the right to practice the invention, a patent is not considered a monopoly right. A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or applicant for a limited amount of time (normally 20 years from the filing date). http://www.yotor.com/wiki/en/pa/Patent.htm      Patent, Intellectual Property Attorney, Marc D. Machtinger A messenger or clerk from the Patent Office would ride this pony to the State Department to receive the signatures of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the President of the United States on issuing patents. For this reason, as well as the fact that on the order of 600-800 patents are withdrawn from issue each year and their patent numbers not used, the latest U.S. patent number does not accurately reflect the number of patents which have been granted. First U.S. Patent issued after the 1836 Patent Act, first originally numbered patent: U.S. Patent No. 1 "Traction Wheels," issued on July 13, 1836 to John Ruggles, a U.S. senator from Maine and the author of the 1836 Patent Act which brought back the examination process. http://www.patentstation.com/mdm/p142.htm      Intellectual Property - History Outside of England, patent law was the subject of legislative protection in the Venetian Statute of 1474. This was the start of a long tradition by the English Crown of the granting of "letters patent" (meaning 'open letter', as opposed to a letter under seal) which granted "monopolies" to favoured persons (or people who were prepared to pay for them). With the French Revolution, which followed the American Revolution, there was controversy over the nature of copyright and patent protections in Europe; those who supported unlimited copyrights frequently used the term property to advance that agenda, while others who supported a more limited system sometimes used the term intellectual rights (droits intellectuels). http://www.wipout.net/history.html      Heraldic Media Limited - Letters Patent Armorial bearings are granted by means of Letters Patent as are titles of nobility, offices held from the Crown, etc. The opposite of Letters Patent are Letters Close, which are of a personal nature and are closed with a seal.
