patent right

They stick as closely to these lines as though their wares were protected by some tribal "patent right."

This process was originally invented by Mr. Sheffield, who disposed of his patent right to Messrs. Vivian.

But few farmers or mechanics have escaped the claims of these patent right sharpers.

That was made at nisi prius in answer to a motion for a nonsuit in an action brought for an infringement of a patent right.

Now and then a leader has appeared,—an inventor,—but the new style is imitated with no respect for patent right.
