Excerpt from Annual Digest of the Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Federal Courts, and of the Commissioner of Patents: In Matters Relating to Patents, Trademarks, Designs, Labels, and Copyrights, for 1899 Several new features have been added to the Digest for which, it is believed, will be of value to users of the book. Among these may be mentioned the following: Such of the unpublished or ms. Decisions of the Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of Patents as are accessible to the public; lists of all appealed Cases and their disposition on such appeal; lists of all patents adjudicated upon where the decision has been published, etc., etc. The Court, jurisdiction and date of deci sion has been annexed to the several syllabi. It will be noted that a new classification has been adopted for all matter pertaining to the Application during its pendency as such. Matters pertaining to Interferences, however, have been left under the general head of Interferences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
