A Famous Case In I’atent Law

e Vancouver Province)

From time lmmemorial there has existed a breed of men whose minds turn to inventions. The majority are of no practical benefit. in fact the custom in the Elizabethan times of burning inventors st the stake was a splendid way of keeping down whet ‘has often become a pest and a spe- icles of industry which has taken ‘good men from their work to £0110" jtlle willow-of-the-wisp of perpetual motion and a non-refillable bottle, and a thousand other impractical and useless ideas. A persual 0i’ the patent records at Ottawa or Wash- ington will fully demonstrate the truth pf the above. Year after year wild-eyed inventors make application gfor patents a certain per icentage of them are Fm?“- Iand probably three or four per oent l of those granted are put to any proc- ~ ticsl purpose.

The case of the battered garbage can belongs to the small class of in- ventions which are both practical and useful. A Canadian patent gen- erally hss to pass the fiery furnace o! an action for infringement or an application to the Exchequer court before it can be pronounced sound, and very often proceedings are delib- erately taken to get a pronounce- ment of a. court as to whether the llnvention is a. "new and useful in- ventlon."

Inventors flourished.

Many years ago two tinsmiths in Winnipeg invented and patented s garbage can. It had many selling points. It was hard to upset; the best efforts of the garbage collector to batter in the sides of the can by banging it on his wagon were frust- rated by an ingenious 'method of construction; the top of the can ‘stayed on, thus preventing the Pek- lr-zese cat next door from overload-

feed of overripe garbage. and there talking points

flourished. The success of the invention led a rival tinsmith to copy the design of

are equally applimblc to any market to which we are catering. The em- phesis which the writer places upon the necessity of keeping the produc- era informed as to‘ the detailed ex- piiisea and profits of each shipment jg-signlficant. The grower should be kept in constant touch with the mar-

kot if he is to be saved from those , oocaksional panics which place him

at the mercy oi unscrupulous spec- ulstnrs.

There are as lmprotarlt problems involved in the marketing u in the growing of potatoes. Our supremacy in the latter field is unquestioned, butwe still have much to learn about the‘ profitable disposal of our pro- duct. Every suggestion, whether from outsiders or from our own shippers, evliould be carefully considered. One thing is certain: nothing
