Practical Pointers for Patentees

Practical Pointers for Patentees, by F. A. Cresee, offers valuable information and advice on the sale of patents and an elucidation of the best methods employed by the most successful inventors in handling their inventions. The edition is revised and corrected, with new forms and tables of population of the United States in accordance with the 1910 census. The text says that a good patent, properly handled, is a stepping stone to success and fortune.

The text says that an official report of the Commissioner of Patents sets forth that from six to seven eighths of the entire manufacturing capital of the United States is either directly or indirectly based upon patents. The text says it has been well said that patents and trade go hand in hand. A section on state laws on selling patents says that in some States laws have been passed by which attempts have been made to regulate or prevent the sale of patent rights within their borders.
