|
InventionA contrivance; a discovery. It is in this sense this word is used in the patent laws of the United States. It signifies not something which has been found ready made, but something which, in consequence of art or accident, has been formed; for the invention must relate of some new or useful art, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, not before known or used by others. By invention, the civilians understand the finding of some things which had not been lost; they must either have abandoned, or they must have never belonged to any one, as a pearl found on the sea shore.
