INVENTORS IN

LABORATORIES.

~~The lot of the bnventor has always | been bard, unless he was exception | ally placed, and combined “cond- mercial with inventive ability. But f in two ways: it is getting increasingly difficult. As technology advances, experimen: becomes much more costly, and at the same time the pro- tection afforded by the patent lawa becomes less and less. Powerful Interests with unlimited capital to draw upon can fight the inventor'st rights with an ever-increasing mass of technical and patent literature to draw, upon on disproof of novelty. Com- bination between manufacturers ren-

ders it more difficult to find anyone who is willing to back a new thing which fills an old want already filled by existing devices. Novertheless, the essential importance of invention from the national point of view is now recognised, and research labora tories are being set up which are to afford every every facility for experi- ment. The success of this move ment depends upon getting the in- ventors into the laboratories, and upon their doing their best work when they are there. In fact, the problem has a psychological aspect | (of the first importance.

There is one more or less obvious solution. Assure to the inventors as

good a reward as a man coming from outside with the same invention would obtain, and you are sure of him. The growing handicap upon individual effort would be made good. This policy, generally pursued, would result in an enormous stimulus to investive activity. This solution No Claims will be admitted after the does not seem likely of adoption.

this course.. mostly of an ethical nature. It is also attacked on other grounds, with equal vigour and plausibility. Probably its real basis is as follows. The business man regards anyone to whom he pays a regular salary as an employee, and he regards the time during which the employee is working for him. as his own, or the firm's. It seems. to him altogether inadmissible that the employee should retain any absolute rights of property over work. done in that time. In any case, he feels that the employee inventor has risked nothing of his own in working. out the invention, as an outside in- ventor has done. Finally, he is possibly in many cases relying upon the increasing difficulties which beset independent inventors to drive them into his fold upon terms favourable to himself.

There are men working under extreme difficulties all over the country, struggling to get money for experiment and patent fees. There are others of equal ability but more sense, who see that the game is not worth the candle, and that that there are surer roads to fortune.. The terms offered may bring in a few of the disheartened, but they will be The rest will seeking a haven. struggle on as before, or turn to other things. The independence of intellect essential as an attribute of the inven- tor is usually coupled with an inde pendence of character which leads to his feeling the signing away of his rights to a confession of weak. ness; The research laboratories, ori the other hand, will easily fill their vacancies with university graduates; men with most respectable records of original" papers and laborious tests; but those who feel the least spark of original genius will not re- adily forego their freedom-Engine- cring.
