The Territorial Period Sample Clauses

The Territorial Period. The development of the Patent system in Britain can be traced back to 1449 when a patent was granted to a Flemish glassmaker for a method of making stained glass windows30. But however, the first conscious acknowledgement of patents was in 1474 in Venice when patents were by law granted “with the objective of stimulating great and ingenious men … to discover and build devices which are very useful and advantageous”.31 During the 16th Century, English Monarchs, having discovered that the sale of monopoly privileges was very lucrative, granted patents on an indefinite basis regardless of whether or not they were novel. This had the effect of raising prices for all commodities on patents such that it became imperative to revoke some patents and limit the period for others. After this period, the British patent system basically developed through judicial interpretation and there was no deliberate effort made towards regulation. An important judicial innovation at this time was that the patentee had to describe in writing the nature of the invention and the manner in which it was to be performed .32 In the Americas, the framers of the US constitution saw the promotion of technological development as essential to the wealth of the new Republic and as such included a provision in the 1787 Federal Constitution giving congress a right “to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries”.33 In 1790, the Patent Act was elaborated further and specified that new inventions could be granted patents for a term of 14 years as long as the invention was novel and useful.
