Riche, vice president of Micro Switch corporation, speak the subject of "Some Crazy Patents I have Known." His remarks were as follows: "While the system of patents which grant monopolistic rights for limited term of years to the Inventer of a new and useful proceas or device stems from the system of monopolies granted by feudal princes, it was considered of sufficient Importance to be mentioned article section 8 of the constitution of the United States and the first act of the first congress established our patent system. Thomas Jefferson examined many patent applications and early patents bore the signature of George Washington as president.

"Undoubtedly. this early and definite recognition of the desirability of stimulating new developments by the granting of limited monopolles has had no small part in advancement. of industry in the "It Is my belief that much of the hectic investigation of patents which is now going 011 is not founded upon any genuine evidence of the 11l effects of our patent system, but 1s another phase of the philosophy those who have been successful industry must in some manner be guilty of practices which are unfair the less successful. 1s no that the individuals who secure patenta have extremely small chance reaping any considerable benefits from the monopoly sO granted. whereas large corporations have made very sticcessful use of patents.

This is due to the fact that patent is not a magic which by itbrings reward. The rewards come from the commercial. development of the idcas which patents represent, and the Individual seldom in a position to carry on the long and expensive work which must precede actual use. Court Remedies "It 1s no doubt true that large corporations have made unfair monopolistic arrangements which patents were involved, but under our present laws the court has found ample remedics for such fair practices, Without the protection granted by patents. our large corporations would be much less inclined to risk the long and expensive experiments, out of which have come such things AS radio, the Mazda lamp, other less spectacuImprovements which have benefited the public far more than individual corporations.

spite of this rather obvious situation, individuals continually the patent office with the wildest possible assortment of impractical and useless ideas. While we can laugh at those, I will show you must remember what people about Fulton and his steamboat.

"It is, no doubt, possible to manufacture a device which will serve AN A package for groceries and later be converted into a cheese grater, a vegetable slicer, fly trap or a mouse trap, as the user may choose, and exactly that Idea is protected by the patent office. "As one looks at the ladies today there is no queation as to the albility that some woman might wish to wear a hat which instead being supported on the head is ported by braces to the shoulders.

On the other hand seems somewhat doubtful whether much money will be made out of patent on 8 derby hat arranged with a pendulum inalde such when the wearer nods his head hat will be automatically tipped a polite salute to the passing ladies, without ure of the hands. Strange Ideas "Mr. Wrigley probably would favor the wide sale of a locket signed for retaining a quid of chewing gum between uses, although patent. points out very specifically the desirability of avoiding the of the gum by unauthorized strangers.

"A somewhat more practical is presented by A metal stencil through which lipstick can be plied to produce A symetrical alluring Cupid's bow pattern.
