Form of Patent.1 VICTORIA, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith: To all to whom these presents shall come greeting: Whereas John Smith, of 29, Perry Street, Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, Engineer, hath by his solemn declaration represented unto us that he is in possession of an invention for "Improvements in Sewing Machines," that he is the true and first inventor thereof, and that the same is not in use by any other person to the best of his knowledge and belief: And whereas the said inventor hath humbly prayed that we would be graciously pleased to grant unto him (hereinafter together with his executors, administrators, and assigns, or any of them, referred to as the said patentee) our Royal Letters Patent for the sole use and advantage of his said invention : And whereas the said inventor hath by and in his complete specification particularly described the nature of his invention: And whereas we being willing to encourage all inventions which may be for the public good, are graciously pleased to condescend to his request: The grant KNOW YE, therefore, that We, of our especial grace, certain of sole privilege. knowledge, and mere motion do by these presents, for us, our heirs and successors, give and grant unto the said patentee our especial license, full power, sole privilege, and authority, that the said patentee by himself, his agents, or licensees, and no others, may at all times hereafter during the terms of years herein mentioned, make, use, exercise, and vend the said invention within our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and Isle of Man, in such manner as to him or them may seem meet, and that the said patentee shall have and enjoy the whole profit and advantage from time to time accruing by reason of the said invention, during the term of fourteen years from the date hereunder written of these presents: And to the end that the said patentee may have and enjoy the sole use and exercise and the full benefit of the Habendum. of use by said invention, We do by these presents for us our heirs and Prohibition successors, strictly command all our subjects whatsoever others. within our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Isle of Man, that they do not at any time during the continuance of the said term of fourteen years either directly or indirectly make use of or put in practice the said invention, or any part of the same, nor in anywise imitate the same, nor make or cause to be made any addition thereto or subtraction therefrom, whereby to pretend themselves the inventors thereof, without the consent, license, or agreement of the said patentee in writing under his hand and seal, on pain of incurring such penalties as may be justly inflicted on such offenders for their contempt of this our Royal command, and of being answerable to the patentee according to law for his damages thereby occasioned: Provided that these our letters Conditions patent are on this condition, that, if at any time during the of the grant. said term it be made to appear to us, our heirs, or successors, or any six or more of our Privy Council, that this our grant is contrary to law, or prejudicial or inconvenient to our subjects in general, or that the said invention is not a new invention as to the public use and exercise thereof within our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and Isle of Man, or that the said patentee is not the first and true inventor thereof within this realm as aforesaid, these our letters patent shall forthwith determine, and be void to all intents and purposes, notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained: Provided also, that if the said patentee shall not pay all fees by law required to be paid in respect of the grant of these letters patent, or in respect of any matter relating thereto at the time or times, and in manner for. the time being by law provided; and also if the said patentee shall not supply or cause to be supplied, for our service all such articles of the said invention as may be required by the officers or commissioners administering any department of our service in such manner, at such times, and at and upon such reasonable prices and terms as shall be settled in manner for the time being by law provided, then, and in any of the said cases, these our letters patent, and all privileges and advantages Construction. whatever hereby granted shall determine and become void, and and to be sealed as of the one thousand eight hundred and SEAL OF PATENT 1 The form of patent, although shorter, is to the same effect as that required under the 15th and 16th Vict. c. 83. Some express conditions are not inserted in the form of patent, but appear in the Act; as, for instance, the words, "Provided likewise nevertheless, and these our letters patent are on the express condition, that if the said A. B., his executors or administrators, shall uot particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed, by an instrument in writing under his, or their, or one of their hands and seals, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of these our letters patent," do not appear in the above form; but s. 5, sub. 4, enacts that a complete specification, whether left on application or subsequently, must particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the invention, and in what manner it is to be performed. See page 13. The words used above, "and whereas the inventor hath by and in his complete specification particularly described the nature of his said invention," seem to point to the view that when a patent is once granted, the patent cannot be attacked on the ground that the invention is not particularly described; but this may not prove to be the case, because a patent may be revoked on any of the grounds on which at the commencement of this Act proceedings might have been taken by a writ of scire facias.
