patent and specifications, except as thereinafter provided, shall apply to any letters-patent granted and to any specification filed under the act. This does not seem to extend to provisional specifications, which are not required to be filed. If that be so, no disclaimer or amendment can be made in respect of a provisional specification after its allowance by the law officer.

The form of the provisional specification given in the schedule to the act is as follows:

"I,, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention [title as in petition] to be as follows:[Here insert the description.] Dated this day of

A. D.

The 3rd section of the act authorises "the commissioners from time to time to make such rules and lations (not inconsistent with the provisions of this act) respecting the business of their office, and all matters and things which, under the provisions herein contained, are to be under their control and direction, as may appear to them necessary and expedient for the purposes of this act." The tenth of the second set of rules issued by the commissioners (15th October, 1852) requires that the provisional specification must state distinctly and intelligibly the whole nature of the invention, so that the law officer may be apprised of the improvement, and of the means by which it is to be car. ried into effect. This rule is not very definite, but if it means more than describing the nature of the invention it is a nullity, for the substance of the provisional specification is not placed under the control and direction of the commissioners.

The result is, that the provisional specification should be made as large and general as the law officer will permit it to be made, avoiding details and particulars as far as possible; or if it be found necessary or advisable to enter into particulars, the implied exclusion of other particulars should be prevented by the use of proper saving and general words.

Secondly, the terms of the provisional specification must not describe anything which the inventor is not able to include in his final specification. For though it is not necessary to discriminate in the provisional specification between the new and the old parts of the subject-matter, it must not state any result as attained or attainable by the inventor which the inregu-ventor cannot carry out and claim. The provisional specification, like the title, is a statement of the nature of the invention; and the Courts have held, with a rigour that is perhaps too undiscriminating, that a patent is bad if the specification fails to describe everything that is necessarily implied in the title-because the title is the statement to the Crown of the applicant's merits; and if the statement is excessive, the grant is bad, as founded on a deceitful representation. (Rex v. Wheeler, 2 B. & Al. 345; Bloxam v. Elsee, 6 B. & Cr. 169; Cook v. Pearce, 8 Q. B. 1044). Thus, in Felton v. Graves (3 Car. & P. 611) it was held, that a patent for "a machine for an expeditious and correct mode of giving a fine edge to knives, razors, scissors, and other cutting instruments," was void because no machine capable of sharpening scissors was described in the specification. So, in Turner v. Winter, (1 T. R. 602), a patent for producing a yellow colour for printing, for making whitelead, and for separating the mineral alkali from common salt, all in one process, was held bad because the white substance produced by the specified process was not whitelead. The principle of these decisions is obviously as applicable to excess in the provisional specification as to excess in the title. By claiming too much when he is applying for the patent the inventor deceives the Crown-by claiming too much in his final specification he misleads the public.

The most important questions with respect to the provisional specification are, first, whether anything can be claimed by the subsequent or final specification which is not fairly covered by the terms of the provisional specification; and, secondly, whether the complete specification may omit anything which is clearly claimed by the provisional specification.

First, generality or looseness in the terms of provisional specifications seems to be immaterial-as it is in the title of the patent, (see Cook v. Pearce, 8 Q. B. 1044)—if the specification is allowed by the law officer. But if the provisional specification assumes to enter into particulars, or to describe the mode of carrying the invention into effect, without containing sufficient general words to cover other particulars not specified, it seems that such other particulars cannot be afterwards specified and claimed without defeating the letters-patent. And as the provisional specification can only be amended by permission of the law officer "to whom the same is referred," no amendment can be made after the certificate of allowance is granted, when the law officer becomes functus officio.

If we are right in our conclusion, that the provisional specification cannot be amended, by disclaimer or otherwise, after it has been allowed by the law officer, it seems that there is no remedy after allowance for an excess of statement or claim in the provisional specification; for the only disclaimer that can then be made is a disclaimer of part of the title or of part of the specification. It is possible, however, that a struggle may be made to remedy this great hardship, by allowing an alteration of the title of the patent, so framed as to exclude by express terms the matter The letters-patent are to issue for "the said inven- wrongly claimed in the provisional specification. Such tion"-i. e. the invention described in the provisional an alteration, as it would not extend the exclusive specification; and letters-patent not granted during the right granted by the letters-patent, would be within continuance of the provisional protection are to be of Lord Brougham's Act, and, being allowed by the law no force. It is therefore clear that the provisional spe- officer, might, upon a liberal construction, be held to cification (although it is not referred to in the letters-operate on the provisional specification so as to exclude patent) must always be looked to, to ascertain what is the the objection. invention to which the patent relates; and as nothing could formerly be claimed which was not covered by the title of the patent, so now nothing can be claimed which is not covered by the provisional specification. The most accurate notion of the nature and effect of the provisional specification will be gained by regarding it as the title of the patent-required, indeed, to enter more into detail than was necessary under the old law, but otherwise having the same operation in defining and limiting the subject-matter of claim in the specification. It is to describe the nature of the invention that was the office of the title of the patent-but it is to describe it to the satisfaction of the law officer; and if it is allowed by him, no objection can be taken to it on the ground of its being too large or vague.

If the provisional specification is defective, by not including enough, the defect must be cured by taking out a new patent for the omitted matter, in which it will generally be prudent to refer to the former patent, and expressly to exclude everything that is included in that. But it will be necessary also to prosecute the proceedings on the first provisional specification, because, by the abandonment of those proceedings, the invention described in and published by that specification will have been thrown open to the world. The public, looking at the first specification only, and finding that the proceedings upon it have been abandoned, would be entitled to conclude that the invention described in it had been also abandoned.

From all this, it appears that the framing of the pro

visional specification is a task of extreme difficulty and danger, and the correction of mistakes in it is no less So. The proper remedy seems to be, to allow a patentee to refer his final specification to the law officer, with authority to that officer to direct any alteration which he may think necessary to be made in the title of the invention, and to enact that no letters-patent for an invention, of which the complete specification shall have been allowed by the law officer, (with or without any amendment of the title of the invention), shall be impeached on the ground of any excess or defect of description, statement, or claim in the provisional specifiG.
