JOHN: Wholesale prices range from twenty-five to thirty-five per cent off retail
prices.
GRANT: H'm. Maynards, you say. They run office-stationery shops all over the
country. Did you find out about the patent?
JOHN: Yes. I asked Wainright & Hansford, the patent agents, to see if our new
design can be patented.
GRANT: And can it? Is it a new idea, or have dozens of other people thought of it
first?
JOHN: Apparently this type of steel and suction clip inside the file is a completely
new idea. The agents suggest we should patent it at once. We can put in a provisional
specification now— that records the invention with the Patent Office, and then we've
got twelve months to file the complete specification.
GRANT: What about a trade-mark for it?
JOHN: The agents suggest we should put in an application to registers the file at
once. Otherwise a rival firm could pass off their files as being made by us.
(The telephone rings,)
GRANT: Hello? Yes? Oh, Mr. Wentworth's on his way up now, is he? Thank you...
H'm, he's early. Elizabeth, ask Mr. Wentworth to come straight in, will you?
ELIZABETH: Oh, he's here now, Mr. Grant. Would you go in, please, Mr.
Wentworth.
WENTWORTH: Morning, morning. Well, Hector, my boy, I'm all set to see the
famous Harper & Grant factory. I've sat looking at it long enough from across the
road. Always thought I'd like to have a closer look.
GRANT: For goodness sake, sit down Alfred. The floor shakes when you walk about
like that... What do you think of this? Not bad, eh? We're applying for a patent for
this new paper holder inside the file. It works by suction. I'll bet you've never seen
anything tike this before.
WENTWORTH: What? How does it work? Ah, I see. Well, you know, that's funny. I
have seen one rather like this. Chap I know in Manchester. I saw one like this, in fact,
last week.
GRANT: What?'
JOHN: It can't be the same!
GRANT: It's not possible!
JOHN: Are you sure?
WENTWORTH: Of course I'm sure. I said I'd buy some for my various offices when
he'd started to market them.
GRANT: Now look here, Alfred, who was this man? This is extremely serious.
We're just about to apply for a patent for this.
WENTWORTH: Well, you'd better be quick, or you'll find someone else has got
there first.
JOHN: What's the name of this man's firm?
WENTWORTH: Oh, he's one of the sales boys for Maynards... Robinson, I think his
name is.
