In the evolution of most invention* — from original Idea to issuance
of the patent protecting the inventor — there are *ix major step*, a*
shown in this drawing prepared by National Patent Council.
(1) After conceiving a new idea, the inventor usually endeavors to
develop a practical model of his device through trial and error, either
in his own workshop or using facilities of his employer or others.
(2) The inventor gives a rough sketch or model of his invention to his
patent attorney, who makes a "search" through issued patents of a simi
lar nature to determine whether all of the idea has already been patented.
(3) If the "search" shows probable patentability, the attorney pre
pares a formal patent application picturing and describing the invention
and presenting carefully worded “claims" to define what is thought to
be new. This is done sometimes before a model is made. No model is
required by the Patent Office.
(4) After the application is signed by the inventor, it is mailed to the
Patent Office. The government filing fee is S30.
(5) Upon receipt in Washington, the application is directed to one of
the Patent Office’s 70 divisions and a patent examiner is assigned to
the case. After studying the application and searching through prior
patents and publications, the examiner points out issued patents show
ing similar inventions and allows or rejects one or more ..of the appli
cant’s claims, depending on what he finds is really new. The inventor's
counsel then amends claims of the application as may be necessary to
limit them to what is "new and useful” and therefore patentable. He
files the amendment. The examiner again agrees or disagrees. This
process continues, sometimes for years, until agreement is reached on
claims to be allowed. A patent may have one or many claims.
(6) The patent is issued to the inventor, usually through his attor
ney, following payment of a final government fee of $30. A brief descrip
tion and drawing of the invention are published in the Patent Office's
weekly Official Gaxette.
The U. S. Patent System gives the inventor exclusive control for 17
years of that which is claimed in his patent The hope of financial re
ward afforded by this protection is the incentive that inspires men to
work hard to create new products and proce—■<•*.

POLIO MILESTONES
The ultra-centrifuge, which spins at 60,000 revolutions
per minute, is a valuable weapon in polio research. When
the virus has been precipitated it is studied through the
electron microscope which magnifies 200,000 diameters.
In treatment of patients the rocking bed supplements the
respirator or iron lung, with highly beneficial results. The
Hubbard tank, where water bouyancy aids proper exercise
of affected muscles, is invaluable in rehabilitation.
