Appearing among the recent publicafions of Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, Ltd., "Practical Advice to Inventors and Patentees," by C. M. LinleY (3s. 6d.), seems to us to be one of the most practical works on the subject ever produced. Usually such books are the work of patent agents or solicitors, and are devoted mainly to the legal side of the subject. The author of this book is a practical engineer of long and varied experience in the development of inventions.
Whilst not neglecting the legal side of the subject, his main idea is to give the inventor practical advice which will enable him to avoid the many pitfalls he may encounter. Good advice is given , as to the best way of turning an invention into a profitable undertaking. Hints are given which may be of value to inventors who are seeking capital for the development of their ideas. A novel feature is to be found in the advice to capitalists who wish to join patentees or to purchase patents. The sections on "The Inventions of Draughtsmen" and "The Inventions of Workmen," " The. Rights of Co-patentees," "Infringers, and Bow to Deal with Them," are very informative to all those concerned in the motor industry. The author's long connection with the motor trade enables him to give many valuable hints. The personal notes regarding inventors the author has met are particularly interesting.
