6451. PATENTS, Frivolous.—
The abuse
of frivolous patents is likely to cause more inconvenience
than is countervailed by those
really useful. We know not to what uses we
may apply implements which were in our hands
before the birth of our government, and even
the discovery of America.—
To Dr. Thomas Cooper. Washington ed. vi, 295.
