TREATISE ON THE LAW AND PRACTICE RELATING TO LETTERS PATENT FOR INVENTIONS WITH AN APPENDIX OF STATUTES, INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION, RULES, BY ROBERT FROST, B.Sc. (Lond.), FELLOW OF THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY, OF LINCOLN'S INN, ESQUIRE, THIRD EDITION. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "In the time that has elapsed, Frost on Patents' has securely taken its place as the leading text-book on the subject.. To all, whether lawyers or patent agents, who require assistance in the law of patents, Mr. Frost's book will be welcome as a mine of valuable and accurate information."-Law Times. "When the First Edition of this work appeared, in 1891, it was at once recognised as a work of distinct merit and one which would take an assured place in the patent lawyer's library. This impression has been fully realised, and the book has long been regarded as one of the standard authorities on the law on letters patent. The present Edition is the worthy successor of those which preceded it."-The Solicitors' Journal. "The Third Edition of Mr. Frost's standard work on patent law gives to the profession an up-to-date and exhausted treatise which is sure to be largely in demand by all connected with patents or patent litigation."-The Law Journal. By sound and thorough treatment of his subject Mr. Frost has obtained for his book an established position and a wide public, who will appreciate the value of having the work kept abreast of the times."-The Juridical Review. 66 We have no doubt that this Edition of Mr. Frost's will continue to receive in the future the commendation which the many who have appealed to the previous Editions for guidance and information have accorded in the past."-Law Quarterly Review. LONDON: STEVENS & HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. THE PATENTS AND DESIGNS ACT, 1907. 7 Edw. 7, Ch. 29. WITH AN APPENDIX OF The Rules, Forms, Fees and Classification of Goods under the Act, Author of "A Treatise on the Law and Practice relating to Letters Patent LONDON: STEVENS AND HAYNES, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. 1908. ? PREFACE. T257 T4 1907 In this book I have endeavoured to give a concise statement of the nature and effect of the alterations in, and additions to, the statute law of patents and designs, which were made by the legislature during the last session of Parliament. I have not directly dealt with case law. About ninety-eight per cent. of the provisions of the repealed Acts and Rules relating to patents and designs are re-enacted. The case law relative to the re-embodied provisions is, as regards patents, fully treated in the recent edition of my larger book on Patent Law and Practice, to which I have given references where appropriate. So far as the new provisions are concerned there is, of course, no case law at present. The time is, therefore, not opportune for a fresh edition of my former work. The tables in the Introduction will enable the reader, at a glance, to transpose the references in my "Patent Law and Practice" to the former Acts and Rules into terms of the present Act and Rules. 5, NEW COURT, LINCOLN'S INN, W.C.
