Reciprocal Patent Arrangements. theirs to us. There will also be an effort
A Washington dispatch announces that
the commissioner and assistant commis-
sioners of patents are engaged in formu-

treaty among leading nations for the pro-
tection of industrial property, to be pre-
sented to a meeting of representatives of
such nations called to convene at Brussels
in December next. The United States de-
sires to secure certain modifications of the
existing treaty to protect patents, trade
marks and similar interests, which pro-

states the same advantages that are given
to the citizens of those states. It has been
found that this provision works a hardship
upon American patentees taking out pa-
tents abroad entirely out of proportion to
the tax upon foreigners who take out pa-
tents here. The intention now is to ask
for a reciprocal arrangement which will
provide that while American patents may
be issued to citizens of other countries on
the same conditions in other respects as
they are issued to American citizens, we
may require the outsiders to pay the same
fees which their countries require from
our inventors. According to Bradstreets,
to become the owner of a patent right
in some countries costs an American
as well as a citizen from $300 to $700,
while the uniform rate in this country is
$35. The effort will be to amend the
treaty making our rates to them equal to
