patent inet • ht the 6 rn I riS• &M rding to the 'act provided mach cases ? I The fifth sid . .sixth charges; if they may be so called, &nett-that if the invention were Chaffee's, he waa not:entitled to a reissue, because he ex pended no more than idly dollars on the inven tion, and received eight thonaand donee's. An examination - 4 the testimony gives n very different idea of Chaffee'sprofds, Bat, Men ad- Milling the statement to be COrreCts no witness estimates the value of Chaffee's invention at less than one hundred thousand dollars, and some es timate it at three times that sum. Now, the law authorizes the party to obtain compensation for the ingenuity as well ns the time and expenses of making . the invention, and. eel part of thevaltte of the invention -which is n t covered by time and expenses is covered -by the ingenuity of the inventor. The law de sign:R.6st the party shill receive the full value of his invention and nething less would be jest. When tweinienter has made an improvement that sues & hundred thousand dollars a year, or even half that aunt, it is a poor - answer to his claim for an extension, to sahe has received eight thousand dollars; n noisier which few, except at the signers of thee charges, would ever think - of presenting. The seventh a 1., tenth charges allege that .Chaffee'stpatent was illegally . extended for the benefit of assignees, and not, as the law eon templet., foe the benept of the inventor. In reply, it is eulikient to mate that the facts of the caseesvere decided according to the evi dence, and hot according to the statements of ' Mr. bay and his coadjutors. But no such facts •as alledged herein were proved. If Mr: Chaffco had. made a contract for the sale of the extended patent, it lo to be hoped he will receive the val ue of his enntrect, which 'will be for his own ben " tilt It will be perceived by the rontaination of the arguments filed by the counsel of the op posers, that they did not pretend there was any • ground for the allegation in this charge, which, if sustained, would have defeated the eaten. lion. - In regard to this Oct of the Commissioner, it ' is due to him to state that this ease was univer sally regarded by the examiners and all 'others In the liffice, familiacwith the (del,. as a remark.' ably clear ease for extension. The eighth charge alleges that the Cemnds . idea. had not read the testimony, arguments, toe., in the ease prior .to granting the. exten sion: . If the facts were as charged it would imply no neglect of duty. The first section of the act of 1848 directs the Commissioner to procure a full report of the cue from the exaniner, and''' there 'Wpm" grant or refuse the extension, Ace Such &report was,furnished by the examiner,; and it -would have been perfectly legal and proper to , . grant the extension °ten-rupee," as the law au thorizes yOu to do. But I know the allegation to be utterly faille, SS I spent many days with you et the same table, reading with you, and foe you, and otherwiselaiding you, while you weremirking notes of the testimony In this case. I, latow, - therefore; that you did examine the easewith the utmost care. .. , The mime eharge'Oleges thnt the Commissioner •In the matter followed neither the laws, rules, ' nor the practice of the Patent Office . I • In relation to this charge I. eau state, having tad the case constantly under my own charge during Its pendency, that the whole pr eeedings on the part of the office were perfectly fair, and violated.nftither the law, the rules, nor the prac tice of the. office. Some new points: arose in the mutes which were disposed of, in the nffitence of ' • rule.; in the meet impartial manner; and 1 can safely remark that no honest man in the trade or acquainted with the subject denies that Chaffee IS the first inventor of the inventor of the im provement patented to him, or pretends that the compensation he received for it bore any reason able proportion to its value. ' In conclueion,.l will remark that the testimony in this case rendered it perfectly clear that Chaf fee was the first inventor of the improvement patented to him t - that the invention was vastly impertant'and useful to the pn laic: and that he had failed, in- consequence of circumstances be yond his control, to obtain a fair remuneration for his invention, anderas therefore clearly enti tled 'under .the statute, to an extension of his -patent; =id I may add'thrit the opposition to the ;extension' 'has come • almost exclusively from those who for Pears have been pirating the in vention. RMiecldully.submittml, I i L. D. GALE, Examiner. - lion. Tnos. Iweidee,. ' Commissioner of Patents. t . . P. S. It wil be perceived that the rules for ' taking testimony in litigated cases before this of fice require the party to give notice' to the opo sing party of ,the time and place of taking tho same; and in order that tho applicant for the extension may give this notice, it ia' necessary . . that be should know who the oposing party is.— As no onetime had previously weaned requiring a rule on this point, the subject hadheen over looked by your predecessors, ond no rule woe focOd. An order was therefore adapted to meet the exigency. That the opposing patty should within reasonable time, notify the office of his intention, to oppose, and of his grounds of op - position, and that the npplimitti should be inform ' ed of the same, Olathe might :now to whom no -• tire should be sent in ;taking testimony. For without inch notice the testimony, according to the pre-existing rut., would he ruled out. The course theta pursued is too obviously fair to juries tify comment. wo this el gle exception the ease was conducted so all rem ets inihe ordina ry way, and precisely in a orthitire with the rule in anologeons cases who no rules hod been provided. A clearer case the Chaffee's for ex testsloti, it has never beets my nt to ,examine.— The.palpable falsehoods and - .representations 'contained in the charges tare t numerous to be noticed here. But many of em are noticed in pencil, find subse queutly ink oil the margin of the printed copy, They are he sane as those Which went the rounds of tl e newSpapets, by the . • procurement of the said 1 Ay. when Chaffee's cue was under consideration; and which were ' at the same time pressed up ,n the , senate by every means which an interested, unscrupulous, ' - ' - end malignant spirit could in. ent. -..i .
