NEW PATENTS ACT.
- HELPING BRITISH INDUSTRY. [FBOM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] London, October 15. Some of the results which have attended the first year's working of the new Patents Act, which came into force in August of last year, are shown in the report of the United States Consul at Liverpool, who states that half a million sterling of foreign capital has, been introduced into tho United Kingdom under the Patents Act. Inquiries made by the Pall Mall Gazette show that some 30 companies and firms have come over from ContineinJtal countries and America to open works here and carry on their patents. ,• Among the best known of these companies are the National Cash Register Company, the Eagle Pencil Company, the Orchestrelle Piano Player Com? pany, the Gillette Razor Company, and the Sanatogen Food Company, while a number of electrical engineering concerns are taking or are erecting works here. Apart from those manufacturers who are now actually making their own patent goods in this country, many foreign holders of British patents who do not find it, convenient to erect new factories here have made arrangements with British firms to work the patents on a royalty basis. -
