Headnote
A granted patent lapsed when the renewal fee, though paid to the agent and acknowledged, was never filed, and the proprietor learned of the lapse only years later. Refusing the restoration application would waste the time and effort of the invention and would be a perversity of justice on a technical ground.
Disposition
Allowed.
