Notes
Historical and Revision NotesBased on Title 35, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 62 (R.S. 4914). Language is changed and the last sentence of the corresponding section of existing statute omitted as superfluous; such a sentence does not appear in the present civil action section, 35 U.S.C. 63 and in either case the validity of the patent may be questioned.
