Excerpt from The Law and Practice: Relating to Letters Patent for Inventions, With an Appendix of Statutes, Rules, and Official Forms

The object of this book is to present in as concise a form as possible the whole of the law relating to letters patent for inventions, and such matters of practice as relate particularly to patent grants.

The author believes that the text refers to all the reported cases which are now of any importance. It contains no reference to matters and cases which are of historical interest only.

As the decisions concerning grants of compulsory licences under section 22 of the Patents Act, 1883 - now repealed - will, it is conceived, be of little or no value, as authorities, under the Act of 1902, they are not here referred to.

Although the author has spared no pains to prevent defects and errors, he does not venture to think that the book is altogether free from these. Whatever its shortcomings, he hopes that the treatise may be found useful by members of the legal profession and others interested in the subject-matter.
