116,951 PATENTS.
IN A YEAR SET NEW RECORDS. Inventors seeking patents from the United States Government are setting new records, the grand total of patent applications reaching 116,951 during the last fiscal year, Thomas E. Robertson, Commissioner of the Patent Office, said in his annual report. This is about 3000 greater than the total in the previous year, and an increase of 17,000 over the patent applications of 1924.
In spite of steady increase in personnel provided for the Patent Office, the growing stream of applications has forced the staff to get further’ and further behind in its work, Commissioner Robertson said. It now takes six months to get action otfi new applications. . o
The commissioner made several recommendations for increases in salary and classification.
