SUBJECT: $xchange of Patent Materials
TO: The American &ibassy, MOSCOW
Reference is made to the Embassy's despatch 204, October 6,
transmitting the Soviet reply on proposals for a U.S.- U.S.S.R.
exchange of patent materials.
Under separate cover a copy of the U.S. Patent Office
Classification Manual is being sent to the Embassy, as requested,
for transmittal to Mr. Zubov.
The U.S. Patent Office and the Department are satisfied with
the terms of the exchange of patent materials as set forth in the
referenced despatch. The Department is of the view that the
exchange should not be made the subject of a formal agreement, but
should take place in the same manner, on the technical level,'that
has been used by the Patent Office for exchanges with the patent
authorities of other countries. However, the Embassy may, if it
considers it useful and appropriate, transmit a note to the
Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs informing it of the willingness
of the U.S. Patent Office to carry out the proposed exchange. The
note should not be drafted in such a manner that it will constitute
an agreement between the two governments.
The Embassy is requested to meet again with Mr. Zubov and
to advise him that the U.S. Patent Office suggests that the exchange
begin with materials issued on and after January 1, 1959- If it
is also desired by the Soviet Ali-Union Patent-Technical Library
to exchange 1958 materials, arrangements can later be made for such
an exchange. On the U.S. side the physical exchange will be made
by the Smithsonian Institution, International Exchange Service,
10th and Independence Avenue, S.4., Washington, D.C., which will
send the U.S. materials to the Soviet Library and will receive
the Soviet materials. The Embassy is requested to advise the
Department of the recipient in Moscow of the American materials.
