Times Staff Corregpondent. WASHINGTON, July $ 9.—More than 70,000 applications for patents are be.ng held up at the patent office here. Ambitious inventors anxious to market their Inventions must have patience. Acting Patent Commissioner Carl Fenning said this to Senator Pomerene when the Senator sought to get ouick action for James J. Roberts of Defiance, Ohio, who has a patent pending. Pomerene learned that the Roberts appl.cation has been pending only since May 1, whereas there are thousands on file which have been waiting for many months, while /ome have been on file for more than a year. Commissioner Fenning pointed out the patent office has been running behind for more than twenty years. Inadequate pay for experts now employed and a tendency by these experts to leave the Government service whenever opportunity presents has resulted in such a shortage of competent patent examiners that untold loss and confusion is resulting. All of this has been told to Congress repeatedly but the congressional attitude Is such that the patent office literally is in a state of demoralization. FaJure of Congress to boost salaries sufficiently, Fenning said, has caused half of the patent force to resign. Business men through Ohio last k’ebruary united in an effort to peruade Congress to remedy patent office conditions. Manufacturers explained that business was being badly jolted as a result of inadequate force. Congress, thereupon, reluctantly authorized twenty-six additional patent examiners.
