Book excerpt: Excerpt from Digest of the Decisions of Law and Practice in the Patent Office From 1890 to 1900 It may be said that the paragraphs of a digest are like the claims of a patent. As the latter express what an invention has added to the prior art, so the former express what each case has added to the body of the law. In accordance with this conception, the successive decisions comprised in this book have been studied in the light of those which preceded them, and the paragraphs have been formulated as points of law rather than as abridged statements of fact. The scheme of classification is largely based on the Rules of Practice, and is therefore at once natural and familiar. All related points have been grouped together, the result being a compact structure with few repetitions. The table of con tents is intended to be full enough to serve as an indication of the general scope of the various divisions and sub-divisions as well as to facilitate reference thereto. In the index, the subject-matter of each paragraph has been repeated under all the heads that were thought fairly likely to be searched. The numerical table of Rules will aid in finding the cases that bear on any particular Rule. Priority has been treated very fully, with especial reference to evidence of diligence and evidence of reduction to practice. Undoubtedly this subject will resume its normal importance with the development of Office practice under the doctrine of Hammond v. Hart. The period included in the digest is from January of 1890 to July of 1900. All of this period excepting the quarter of April - June, 1900, is comprised in the body of the text, that quarter being contained in an appendix, and the whole being covered by a single index.
