SAMUEL COOPER,
Late Chief Examiner in the U. S. Patent Office, PROCURES PATENTS IN THIS AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
His long official connection with the Patent Office has rendered him familiar with its rules and practice, and with the history of invention in this and other countries ; and this experience, with the frequent visits which he proposes making to the Patent Office, justifies him in saying that his Agency will offer to Inventors all the advantages of one located in Washington, and, in addition, those which result from a residence in the midst of mechanical and manufacturing industry .
Advice given upon all matters relating to the validity, &c., of patents, the novelty and patenta- bility of inventions. Specifications and Drawings prepared,-Caveats filed,-Reconsiderations pro- cured of applications that have been rejected upon imperfectly prepared papers,-Cases of interference, and applications for extension and re-issue prosecuted,-and in general, all business connected with the Patent Office, transacted with care and promptness.
British and other foreign patents procured, through prompt and confidential agents in London and Paris.
Persons residing at a distance may obtain all necessary information, and have their business transacted, by writing to the subscriber, without the trouble and expense of a visit to Washington.
He begs leave to refer those unacquainted with him to the following testimonials :-
FROM THE HON. CHARLES MASON, COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.
U. S. PATENT OFFICE, FEB. 28, 1855.
I take great pleasure in stating that during the time I have been acting as Commissioner of Patents, Samuel Cooper, Esq., of Boston, has been engaged as solicitor, and has been in that capacity in constant correspondence and intercourse with the Office ; he has evinced a thorough acquaintance with the Patent Law, and with the rules and practice of the Office, a close attention to the interests of his clients, and a marked candor and courtesy that has rendered the transaction of business with him a pleasure. I have no hesitation in stating that I regard him as one of the very best agents for the transaction of business with this Office with whom I am acquainted.
CHARLES MASON, Commissioner.
FROM THE EXAMINERS IN THE PATENT OFFICE.
" The undersigned, Principal and Assistant Examiners in the United States Patent Office, have for several years been well acquainted with Mr. Samuel Cooper, lately a Principal Examiner in this Office, and take pleasure in stating that he is a gentleman of the highest moral character, of unquestioned knowledge in the business and practice of the office, and that his scientific attainments are such as eminently fit him for the business in which he is about to engage.
