REPORT FROM THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS, SHOWING The operations of the Patent Office during the year 1841. FEBRUARY 15, 1842. On motion of Mr. McClellan, Resolved, That ten thousand extra copies of the Report of the Commissioner of Patents be print- ed for the use of this House. PATENT OFFICE, January, 1842. SIR: In compliance with the law, the Commissioner of Patents has the honor to submit his annual report. Four hundred and ninety-five patents have been issued during the year 1841, including fifteen additional improvements to former patents; of which classified and alph-hetical lists are annexed, marked A and B. During the same periou, three hundred and twenty-seven patents have expire d, as per iEt marke, C. The applications for patents, during the year past, amount to eight hun- dred and forty-seven; and the number of caveats filed was three hundred and twelve. The receipts of the office for 1841 amount to $40,413 01; from which may be deducted $9,093 30, repaid on applications withdrawn, as per statement D. The ordinary expenses of the Patent Office for the past year, including payments for the library and for agricultural statistics, have been $23,- 065 87; leaving a surplus of $8,253 94 to be credited to the patent fund, as per statement marked E. For the restoration of models, records, and drawings, under the act of March 3, 1837, $20,507 70 have been expended, as per statement marked F. The whole number of patents issued by the United States, previous to January, 1842, is twelve thoasand four hundred and seventy-seven. The extreme pressure in the money market, and the great difficulty in remittance, have, it is believed, materially lessened the number of applica- tions for patents. These have, however, exceeded those of the last year by eighty-two. The resolution of the last Congress, directing the Commissioner to dis- tribute seven hundred copies of the Digest of Patents among the respective States, has been carried into effect, as ordered. Experience, under the new law reorganizing the Patent Office, shows the importance of some alterations in the present law.
