The'value, of a-patent in. ! New Zealand is small as compared to its yaluo m other parts of tho world.- The - United • States.alone has, a' population' of one hundred : million people' and '.tremendous''', 'wealth, but to go there and get acquainted with conditions and make arrangements to properly introduce - : a patent would takoa year's time, to say no- ■' thing .of the necessary money, and'very few. ■ have the time and 'money.- ';...- Supposing, on the other hand, one has a good idea, supposing one has a good patent, and admitting tho money can bo procured! what, is the uso;of spending much money and' much timoor investing capital until one is convinced that no ono else nas had tho samo"' idea before, and, above all, one is convinced of its commercial value, that is,- 'the direct ' hnaneial benefits that will result. Naturally, • the advice of a patent agent is always in i'av. our of going ahead because that is his lino of business and how ho makes monoy: • •••»'■ When Capital approaches you and says yon have the brains and .wo havo tho capital, and wo .are prepared to toko all, risks, and irill ».''' givo you a fair proportion of tho earnings' of '' your invention, that brings it down, to a fair, equitable business proposition, and that is , what wo are preparod, to do. Wo havo tho best of connections throughout the leading commercial countritsi we have and can -get'' the necessary ■ money to. exploit "any good pa-' tent; wo, want to mako money ourselves; and "• we want the man who has got.,tho brains'to'cconceive the. idea to mako .money.-; Wt aro willing to put our money, ogainst his brains, providod that our business judgment and experience and the result of our. 1 , investigations ■" cOnvincesus that the idea or patent is a.good - ' one.
