Honorable Methods and Intelligent

Confidence?An Interesting
Testimonial.
(From Ualtiniore News, Thursday, April 15,
1897.)
Washington, D. C., April 15.?
In these days when depressed
conditions mark almost all enter
prises it is not remarkable that
the success of one man should attract
such general attention. The
wonderful strides made within
the past year or two by the well
known patent firm of John Wedderburn
& Co. have been noted
by the most experienced business
men uith astonishment, but an
investigation of the methods
which Mr. Wedderburn has employed
furnishes the key to the
mystery. Heretolure the patent
business has been conducted on
a comparatively small scale and
by the use of methods which in
these days must be said to be antiquated.
Thus the entire expense
of maintaining a patent
agency has been borne by a small
number of clients whose fees has
been levied upon by the attorneys
for a very considerable profit.
Under such conditions it is not
remarkable that but little progress
should be made.
Mr. Wedderburn has brought
to his aid the most approved
modern methods. Ilis ollice in
Washington is within a few feet
of the Patent Oflice and his force
of more than 2."><) clerks is dis*i...i.v.i
?i. 1 ? _??
I I 1 1/(4 (tMl I 11 I UUU.IJ lllirc 1,11 m? l> li 1 HIings.
This little army of employees
is made up of the most
skillful experts that generous salaries
can hire and only work of
the highest possible character is
permitted to leave the ollice.
In addition to his unusual facilities
Mr. Wedderburn has
placed his business before almost
every inventor of the United
8tates through the medium of the
newspapers, lie has in addition
provided an endowment from
which a handsome award of $150
in cash is made monthly to the
inventor of the simplest and best
device forwarded to the company.
This award is similar in character
to those made by the famous
scientific societies of America and
Europe, and is intended to enable
the inventor fortunate enough to
secure it either to develop his
patent and place it on the market,
to protect it in foreign countries,
or to purchase a scholarship in
one of the great industrial trade
schools where the use of tools is
taught in a thoroughly scientific
ington,?>. C.
"Gentlemen : You have been 80
highly spoken of to rae by my
friends as men of 6trict integrity
and prompt in all business matters
that I do not hesitate to commend
you to such of my friends
who may need the advice and assistance
of a reliable attorney.
"Very truly yours,
"A. E. Stevenson,
"Vice-President United States."
Scores of Senators and Representatives
have gladly availed
themselves of Mr. Wedderburn's
recognized ability and integrity
to refer to him the business of
their constituents sent to them
"for reference to reputable attorneys."
i It is, perhaps, natural that Mr.
i Wedderburn's success should be
envied by some of his would be
rivals whose business has suffered
by the comparison with the
enterprise, publicity and guaran
teed fairness that have characterized
the system pursued by his
firm. His position as leader in
his profession is so impregnable,
however, that even his most unscrupulous
detractors have been
' unable to successfully assail him.
"Mr. Wedderburn's advent in
the important lield of patent so11
"i t i n f? " l.oulin'j Woo kit- in
a recent issue, "has done more
' than any other one thing to kill
| of]' the so-called 'no-patent-nopay'
attorneys who have been the
bane of the guileless inventor
from time immemorial. These
J attorneys pretend to secure patents
on contingent fees, hut they
protect themselves by compelling
the inventor to deposit in
1 some bank either suflieient cash
i or good security to guarantee the
payment of the lee as soon as the
patent is allowed. This being
done, the \no-patent-no-pay' at1
torney devotes all his energies to
| securing a patent in the shortest
possible space of time. As the
government always strenuously
contests every claim of a
patent, these unprincipled solicitors
waste no time in controversy
with the examiners in the
L nited States Patent Ollice, but
promptly yield every point down
to a single claim, which, if the
manner and from which an inventor
may graduate fully equipped
to pursue his investigations
! in any direction of modern ap'
plied science and entirely compe|
tent to make with his own hands
all the appliances, models, etc.,
he may require. The awarding
of this handsome sum in cash is
made monthly by a most distinguished
board of prominent pub
lie and business men composed of
United States Senator William M.
Stewart, Chairman ; Representative
Claude M. Swanson, of Virginia,
Mr. .John C.Eckloll,Cashier
of the Second National Rank of (
j Washington; .Mr. Frederick E.
Woodward of the well-known j
firm of Woodward ifc Lothrop and
; Mr. A. C. Moses of the great husi;
ness house of Win. R. Moses A*
Sons. With their interests 111 the
i hands of such a Hnanl nf Awards
it goes without saving that tho inventors
of the country feel entirely
satisfied with the decisions
rendered each month.
Mr. Wedderburn's method of
conducting patent business has
drawn fortli many expressions of
approval from prominent public
men hundreds of whom are his
personal friends. Quite recently
so distinguished a public man as
Vice-President Stevenson addressed
the following letter to
Mr. Wedderburn:
"United States Senate Chamber,
"Office of Vice-l'resident,
"Feb. 2, 1897.
'.Inhn V/i>(trtorhnrn A- Pn Wooh.
government concedes, they make
the basis of an application for allowance.
The result is that the
inventor, instead of securing a
broad patent, covering his device
at every point to protect him
against infringement, obtains a
one claim patent that is absolutely
worthless, and which he could
not dispose of at any price."
Mr. Wedderburn is most vigilant
in protecting the interests of
his clients. A few weeks ago certain
patent attorneys anxious to
injure his business began to cirbulate
malicious and defamatory
reports regarding his method of;
business. The purpose of these!
slanders was to cripple his enterprise
and strike a blow at the in
reresis 01 ins eiicnrs. i\ir. weuderburn
at once filed a suit for
damages of $25,000 against C. A.
Snow cV Co., and this suit is now
pending in the courts of the District
of Columbia. Mr. Wedderburn
declares that lie will spare
no expense to protect himself and
his clients at all times and under
all circumstances.
