§ 53. Sir ROBERT THOMASasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the present state of the Patent Law, he will consider introducing legislation to amend it, particularly with a view to accelerating the procedure and reducing the cost of granting a patent, cheapening the process of Law in actions for infringement, and reducing the congestion in the Patent Office?
§ Mr. H. WILLIAMSI am afraid that there will be no opportunity of introducing amending patents legislation this Session.
