[No. 117

I hereby request permission to apply to the Patent Office for a patent for [Title of invention] on the following conditions:—

(i.) I will not leave a complete specification with the application, nor will I subsequently leave a complete specification or take any further steps in the matter after applying for provisional protection, without the direction or permission of the Army Council.

(ii.) Within forty-eight hours of the despatch by me to the Patent Office of my application I will inform the War Office, through my Commanding Officer or Head of Department or factory, of the application, and forward such a description of the invention as may enable the Army Council to judge of the course to be pursued, and will subsequently give any further information as to my invention and forward the provisional specification if required.

(iii.) I will, if so ordered, assign to the Secretary of State for War or the Admiralty, on behalf of His Majesty, as may be required, the benefit of the invention and any patent that may be granted, or enter into such agreement for its use by the Government and its contractors as may be directed by the Army Council.

(iv.) I will not assign or deal with the invention or patent, or grant any licenses or rights to the use of it to any one except with the previous authority of the Army Council, or under the terms of any agreement (if any) with the Army Council.

(v.) I fully understand that the terms of payment (if any) for the assignment of the invention or patent to the Secretary of State, or for its use in His Majesty’s Service, will be decided by the Army Council, and that regard will be paid to any facilities in originating, working out, and perfecting the invention which I may have enjoyed by reason of my official position, and that all payments will be made subject to the approval of the Treasury.

(vi.) I will not apply for a patent in any foreign country, or in any British colony or dependency, without the authority of the Army Council.

Foreign and Colonial Patents.

6. Applications for permission to obtain patents or similar rights in any foreign country or in any British colonies or dependencies must be forwarded to the Army Council for approval, accompanied by a general description of the invention. When, however, permission has already been given to lodge a complete specification and obtain a British patent for the same, such description need not accompany the application.

General.

7. It may be useful for the information of inventors to state that, speaking generally, there are three alternative courses which are adopted by the Army Council in dealing with an invention or patent, viz. :

(i.) Where the Army Council (or Admiralty) desire to retain complete control of the invention or patent, in which case assignment to the Secretary of State (or Admiralty) will be ordered, and the inventor will not be allowed to dispose of the commercial uses of his patent if it has any.

(ii.) Where the Army Council are satisfied with an agreement giving the Government and its contractors a right to use the invention or patent, but otherwise leaving the inventor free to dispose of his invention or patent for commercial purposes.

(iii.) Where the Army Council do not consider that they have any interest in the invention or patent, leave it to be dealt with entirely by the inventor, and release him from the obligations he has entered into.

If an inventor wishes his invention or patent to be dealt with under heads (ii) or (iii) above, he must make a written application through the usual channel for that purpose. It must be understood that the matter is entirely in the discretion of the Army Council, and that they cannot undertake to deal with any particular invention or patent according to any one of the above-mentioned methods, but may adopt some different course in the matter.

8. An applicant for remuneration will be required to give full detailed particulars of any out-of-pocket expenses on experiments, &c., incurred by him personally, as well as of any consideration he may have received directly or indirectly in respect of the invention.
