HC Deb 28 June 1944 vol 401 cc728-9W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many actions for claims against the Government were entered by inventors under the Patents Act since the beginning of the war; and how many were successful.

Sir J. Anderson

In only two instances since the beginning of the war have patentees sought the intervention of the Court in settling the remuneration payable under Section 29 of the Patents Act for Government use of their inventions. Neither of these cases has yet come to trial.
