PATENT OFFICE, Janfrfrry 1, 1839. 'Sn: In obedience to law, the Commissioner of Patents has the honor to submit his annual report. During the year 1838, five hundred and twenty patents have been issued, of which classified and alphabeticat lists are annexed; (marked A and B.) During the same period, two hundred and tventy-four patents have expired; as by list (marked C.) The receipts of office for 1838 amount to 842,123 54; from which jmay be deducted $3,700 paid on applications withdrawn i (marked D.) For the restoration of models, records, and drawings, under the ;act of 1837, $14,458 74 have been expended; a detailed statement of which is annexed, (marked F.) The ordinary expenses of the Patent Office, the past year, were $19,180 Is; leaving a surplus of 919,243 36 to be credited to the patent f2ud, (marked E.) The number of patents issued in 1s8S exceeds that of 1837; and the increasing confidence in the patent lawvr will doubtless continue atn in- creasing stimulus to genius and science in their application to practical and useful objects; advancing alike the interest of agriculture, of con- merce. and the arts. The provisions of the act of Congress by which the Patent Office has been reorganized, have been noticed, with high commendation, in many scientific publications in Europe; and, I am happy to say, have, in their practical operation, met with very great favor among those of our citi- zens whose rights and interests are directly or indirectly affected thereby. Wise and beneficial as the operation of the law is, generally, there are one or two particulars in which experience suggests the propriety, if not necessity, of some modification.
