ENGLISH PATENTS; being a Register of all those granted for Inventions in the Arts, Manufactures, Chemistry, Agriculture, &c. With copious Index.
By ANDREW PRITCHARD, M.R.I.
This Annual contains a register of all the patents granted in each year; the title, date, and name of inventor; distinguishing those produced in foreign countries from those native. Alphabetical lists both of names and subjects being given, an easy reference is obtained.
To the manufacturer the importance of this work must be at once apparent, as it embraces improvements in nearly every branch of art and science, and enables him to ascertain what processes and articles he is restricted from using or making, and the period when they become public property. To inventors, many are the uses for which a list of this kind is available: besides offering them a ready means of ascertaining whether others have directed their attention to the same subjects, it enables them, if such be the case, to determine whether the inventions are similar, or what parts are claimed by former patentees, and whether they can secure their invention to themselves without infringement of an existing patent.
To each annual list is appended some valuable information relating to subjects connected with inventions. The “English Patents,” 1841, has appended a copy of letters patent as now granted in England, by which inventors are enabled to form some idea of the rights and privileges they acquire by a patent. Also an abstract of the consolidated act, which commenced its operation in September, 1842, whereby inventors or manufacturers may secure to themselves the sole right of making and selling, for terms not exceeding three years, any new design on articles of manufacture, or for any novelty in the pattern, shape, configuration, or ornament thereof. The orders of the Lords of the Treasury respecting the charges to be made for such registrations, the names of articles registered, &c. are given.
The “English Patents” granted in 1842 will contain, in addition to the List and Index, some observations on foreign patents, which, it is conceived, will be useful to inventors generally, but more especially to those who have obtained English patents.
This Annual will be published as soon after the close of each year as the collecting, arranging, and printing the work will permit.
