INVENTORS HID HIT' BY GERMAN . IAWONPATENTS I Employing Firm Gets Not Credit, but All Money. Bn United Prc BERLIN, April 29.—A multitude of German Inventors are struggling for moral recognition. They demand that German patent laws should emulate the American principle of granting a patent only to the inventor himself under his name. As tt is, German inventors who are employed by firms are nobodies. No matter how important their invention may be for the good of the whole country, their names remain a secret. They are not even recorded in the patent bureau. There are no Joseph Schmidt bulbs or Franz Schulz boilers in Germany. The (Credit for an invention, both financially and morally, goes to the firm. In Germany, inventions and improvements are registered under the name of the firm with whom the inventor is employed. The German patent law does not recognize the inventor, but the person who submits the invention for registration. Use Advantage Big industrial firms are trying to make the most of this advantage. Before employing a man in their planning department they make him sign a document in which he forfeits all his right on any improvement, innovation or invention he might possibly make while in the firm’s employ. In ipany cases, firms include a providing that the employee jrforego “ all claims for compensation Jand cede his invention to the firm for any use it wants to make thereof.” Firms are known to have preferred lawsuits to obtain titles for inventions made by their employees in spare time, and in fields which had nothing to do with their work for the firm. In many, if not in most cases, the firms have won. . Thus an odd situation exists. A German invention might be well known in the United States under the inventor's name, because there his firm annot obtain a patent without divulging his name, while in his home town in Germany the inventor will remain in an anonymous drudge. No Benefit by Law. the German inventor does not benefit by this provision of the United States patent law. In most cases lie is forced by his firm to sign the so-called dollar-contract; that is to cede his rights to the exploitation of the American patent to his firm for a nominal sl. But he gets at least some sort of satisfaction while according to the German law. he obtains none whatever. -This satisfaction, however, is just what the advocates of a revision of the German patent law claim to he The union of technicians •prid prominent sociologists has stibLmtecl to the Department of Labor a |>i ; l which provides that inventions mfde in the planning department of a fc'm shall go to the credit of the firm as heretofore; inventions made,

The firm shall retain first option on such inventions, but they should in any case be registered under the inventor’s name. AGED RESIDENT DIES Mrs. Mary E.
