RESPECTING THE SALE OF PATENTS. We are informed by Henry Hughes (A. R. Holdsliip, manager), Patent Agent of 183 Hereford Street, Christchurch, that the -firm is often asked to interest themselves in inventions apart from their professional capacity as advisers and inventors. A reputable patent agent cannot however, interest himself commercially in an invention. He must l?c strictly impartial, and when his duties as to the soliciting .of patents are over be lio must not be identified in a business or trading wav with patents. But whafr lie- can "do, and what Henry Hughes' firm is doing, is to bring patantees into touch with proper persons who will take the patent to England and America and dispose of it there on behalf of the patentee. In this wav inventors will benefit nnd the firm, will bare the satisfaction of seeing clients doing well. The New Zealand patent ran always be disposed of locally .and this is preferable to selling in London. For further particulars, apply Henry Tinges (\. T?. Hold«bin. manager) IS3 Hereford Street.
