How petitions should be drawn up and presented.

Formula of petitions.

These petitions are to be drawn up according to Formula A. They can be handed in by the applicants for patents themselves, or by a deputy. The petitions are subjected to a stamp duty of fl. 3, Austrian currency, and the supplementary documents to a duty of 15 kreutzers for each sheet. (§ 43. c. 2. of the Law of December 13, 1862.)

Every such petition must contain :

(a.) The Christian and surname, business address of the applicant for a patent, and, in case he does not reside permanently in the country, the name, business, and address of a deputy residing therein. It is also necessary to give the Christian and surname, business, &c. of the applicant for a patent, if such is to be made use of by a firm differing in style from the real name of the owner of the patent. In this case the style of the selected firm is also to be stated. But it may not be the same as that of an already existing firm without their consent:

(Z>.) The name (appellation) of the discovery, invention, or improvement, and its nature:

(c.) The number of years for which the patent is desired. This may not exceed fifteen without our special consent, and is confined to the number of years of the foreign patent in the case of those which are already in existence abroad, and are desired to be transferred by the owners of them or their assignees to this country :

(r/.) The statement whether the secrecy of the discovery, invention, or improve­ment is desired, or not. *

What the petition for an exclusive patent should close.

§ 10 .

With the petition for an exclusive patent must be enclosed:

(a.) The fee payable for the same or the certificate of its having already been deposited at an Imperial or Royal Treasury. No further payment, no matter for what, is to be made for the grant of a patent beyond this fee, even in case of a previous examination having taken place in relation to its admissibility on public grounds:

( b .) The valid power of authority made out in the name of the representative who hands in the petition (§ 9) for the applicant for a patent:

(c.) The foreign deed of patent in the original, or a certified copy, in the case of discoveries, inventions, or improvement which are intended to be intro­duced from abroad :

(d.) The specification of the article to be patented as prescribed above (§ 7 c.), sealed, and under cover, upon which is to be written the discovery, invention, or improvement to be patented agreeing in substance with the statement in the petition, and giving the address of the applicant for a patent, or his representative.
