Mr Henry Hughes (W. E. Hughes), international patent agent, recentlyfound it necessary to remove his organisation from Queen's Chambers, Wellington, to larger offices in Featherston st. He combines. and uses in the interests of those requiring to patent any invention all the most important qualifications of draftsman, scientist, and lawyer. To obtain patent rights there are certain formalities to be gone through, and not the least important being the drawing up and filing of. the specifications which comprise the inventor's title deed. This work must be'performed in a way that will leave nothing open to chance, and with a care and attention to detail that will prevent litigation, mishap, or piracy. Mr Henry Hughes takes all responsibility in making the inventor's title good, and his large and competent -staff is able to deal "with such work most expeditiously. His booklet, "Advice to Inventors," is particularly interesting, and is posted free on request.
