Ladies and Gentlemen:By associating their names with the institution and prO-grams of applied research that you 'and National Taiwan Univ
:e
rsity are inaugurating. you are honoring three individu-als: Dr. Lan Jen Chu, who became my valued client a third of a2entury ago; my son, Robert H. Rines, who, upon his return from the war, a quarter of a century ago, became associated with me in our patent-law practice; and myself. We.· sincerely appreciate the honor. Dr. Chu and my son believe that I have a mes sage to deliver toyou and I have come halfway around thewor1d to deliver it.As background of my qualifications to deliver this mess-age/iyou ought to be informed that I was at one time a professional scientist
,
an astronomer,
engaged in research; and,'forthe last50 years and more, I have been a patent lawyer. I have had the privilege,as such lawyer, o£protect-ing others in the inventions that they made in thecourse of their researches. Since you are dedicating this' institution to the future of research in your own country,
you may perhaps be interested in what I haveto say as the result ofm:y experiences.Friends of the Chiao

It should be noted that, though the delegates to the,
Consti-tutional Convention had varying ideas as jto the manner in which to bring about the encouragement of invention, the
r:
e was no difference whatever among them as to the desirability of that encouragement.Of that desirability they 'were all agreed; there was not even any debate as to that matter.Here
,
too,
there is a parallel. Your laws embody a similar provision as to the encouragementof invention.How important the new nation
,
the United States,
cpns-idered to be the task of encouraging invention may be gath-ered from the fact that a patent la,r
was enacted, under the authority conferred upon itby; the new Constittition,
by the very first Congress. Not onlythat,
dut also the duty to administer that firstpatent law was entrusted to,a:patentboard constituted of thrEe of tIie highest officials of thRnew government: the,Secretary of ,State, the Secretary ofWai?
and the Attorney General. As further indication of th~ imp-ortance that was placed upon this task of encouraging inve-ntion, the patentsthe grant of which the patent board appr-oved, were signed by the President of the United States,
George W
a.
shington, and also by the Secretary ofStil，~e. It was also the duty of the highest court in the land,
the United、States Supreme Court, to pass finally, in an infringement suit
,
upon the validity of the patents that were thus·gr缸lt~d.The first Secretary of State was a very famous ma,n, ;by
name of Thomas Jefferson. Betore assuming the office of the Secreta;ryship of State
,
hehad authored our Declaration ofI
Independence, and he had also served as our Ambassador .toI~已
France during our Revolutionary. WaF' At;;a latertime,, he
hecame thethird President of the Yn~t~d States. But~e v{as considerablymore thanmereIy a statesman.He,was ope of a
group ofmen of so exceptional qu耳lifications that without them it .is doubtful whether the neV'?' nation, Gould hav:e
becOnle even l
a.
unched. Besides his statesmanship, he ,wasalso a competent sQientist, a naturalist, and also eyenan inventor (though
,
like Benjamin Franklin,
another e~trao.r4i，-- ,nary person of that group, he refu.sed, to patent his
inventions).
It,was under -the guidance of this remarkable iIldividual,
、 Thonlas Je££erson;'the-refore
,
that the patent systemQf theUnited States had itsheginnings.
It should be clearly understood
,
however,
that.J
e£f~rso，nwas decidedly not a monopolist. Qtlitethe contrary.His~aim， as was also that of his contemporaries，喻的， not:tO"enc()urage monopoly
,
but,toencollrageinvention.JI~ and theydid,not,
however
,
regard'ii,patent for a true一 invention as,
in anyproper sense of the term
,
a,Iilonopoly,
And, ,so it hal!, many times since'beenlleld by theUnited States Supreme CQurt.A monopoly takes gway frop:1 t.he public what it haspreviously possessed. But 司n inventor does not take" away from the public anything that it had previouslypossessed.On the contr'ary, the true inventor gives thepubHcsomethingthat it had never previously possessed.And thepatent grant is for a limited time only. at the end of which the public becomes elldowed with the rig,ht to use the invention freely forever thereafter, without restrict-ions of any kind whatsoever.
In Jefferson's own wor-!!s,
"Certainly an inventor ought tobe allowed a right to the benefit of his invention for some certa'in time.~
That ~certain time~ is necessary toenable the inventor to recoup the expenses that he was subjected to during his own
